About Hakim Zziwa

Hakim Zziwa was born and raised in Uganda, currently operating in Boston, MA and Uganda as well. He has always been passionate about telling stories visually inspired by his strong stage performance background as a dance artist.
Being a performing artist inspired him to get into dance visual storytelling and producing dance videos with a lot of action later on earning an official selection for one of his short films, "In the Barrow," at the Urban Film Festival in Paris.

Hakim.Z later expanded his creativity to the documentary style of filmmaking that has taken him to another level, working on various commercial project collaborations as a Director and Director of Photography. A combination of shooting dance action and documentary style open up doors to directing music videos and short films.

As a creative with a wide scope of imaginations, he has been able to work on various projects with higher institutions of learning including Harvard University and Boston College helping tell their stories with his experience in documentary style of filmmaking, something that has helped these institutions achieve their intended goals and return on investment.

Hakim.Z continues to explore different genres of film making especially documentary, short films, music videos and abstract experimental film projects.
