Robert, Grace, Peter, and Arthur set out to change the perception of film, TV, and design in Uganda. With practically no money, they scrapped and borrowed a few shillings and hired a G5 Power PC from a good friend (Daniel Hama) and started working at the dining table. This was later abandoned for garage space as the company grew bigger.
