Chikwame said he was elated to represent Zimbabwe at a colourful film competition.
“I am so excited to represent Zimbabwe at such a big platform. Whether or not we make it to the finals is another thing, but our main thrust is to go there, mingle with experienced filmmakers and learn from them.
“It is a milestone for us and hopefully it benefits all the Zimbabweans,” said Chikwame.
He urged Zimbabweans to rally behind the movie and vote for it.
Other countries participating in this year’s festival include the DRC, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and the United States.

“We want to use this opportunity to get the much needed exposure and start promoting it regionally then internationally,” he said.
