Cheque Mate (Full Movie)

- The film is about everyday life of a film maker/creatives life, alive with extra ordinary characters with different intentions but the same goals. It tries to answer the question whether the end justifies the means. What’s even more interesting about the story is the way it is told in two seemingly parallel universes that merge into one. We do hope that viewers appreciate this aspect and find the payoff rewarding
Auudi Rowa does a very convincing job playing Sanaa while Brian Ogola effortlessly steps into the role of Zubedi gently guiding the camera to focus on him. Other A class actors as well fill the supporting roles Lucy Njoroge,Peter Kawa,Faith Kibathi and Mwamburi Maole,ensuring that cheque mate is a conversation worth having, a movie that deserves your attention - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Very relevant topic. A shame that this goes on over and over again. Some beautiful shots, too. Kudos on effort put in. Looking out for more kiwo films
Great depiction.
This movie should be made compulsory viewing for anybody who wishes to join the film industry/sector in Kenya.
I CONCUR
True , many actors and the crew huchezwa. Its such an elightment
Nime feel hii movie manze..... Brian.... Auudi.... Wakio manze mume piga kazi safi..... Not forgetting kawa na everyone who took part in this film manze mumepiga kazi safi 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Thanks for watching. 😊👍🏾
So this is how it feels to watch yourself ah 😢😢😢. Great job Kiwo and the team 👏👏 💯
Early mornings, late nights, pressure at work, late payment, underpaid work hours, no job security, no allowances, sleepless nights due to fatigue, the list is endless. I hope this movie is the beginning of change.
we are the change we need in this time, we make the change we want to see and how the industry should be.
Extremely proud of each and everyone in this film. Excellent work Kiwo Films.
Am I the only one who loved that Sanaa went back for the flowers?
We too loved that fact, it was bad ass!!
Me and you both.. I loooved it😂😂
😂😂 Yaaasss!!!
Audi is actually such a good actress. I for sure see great talent in her. May she be successful and everyone else...Manze this woman will be great. Mark this comment.
We have marked this comment right here 2020 beyond.
Auudi is Amazing!!!!
Hii ni kali sana shots safi good work kudos
This film paints the grim image of what artists have to go through... So many talents have been sacrificed for the sake of the greed of a few. It hurts. .. Inauma saaanaa
You have shown me myself 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎉🎉 good job friends.
Oscars ya waiguru ikam thru walai this mama has mastered the art of acting to incomprehensible depths👍👍
I hate most of the roles she plays and that only goes to show how good of a job she actually does. I love her!
@@theluediaries3909 I think dawa ni kujipanga financially mapema kama msanii such that unaeza turn down job za upuzi...ila tu itaturudisha nyuma if we chose to do art part time na kutafuta riziki zaidi kwingine
Don't even know how I made it to the end. Triggers everywhere! Aki I need to detox. Greg, you're my guy! Loving the growth and courage. Kudos to the cast and crew. Hatuwezi ishi hivi!
This is a true story of what most film makers and actors go through, blood , sweat and tears for no pay. Hope this film touches some of the crooked producers of tables turning .
hats off to the script writers, producers, technical crew and cast of this awesome film
Hatuezi Endelea kuishi ivi 😭😭😭 this one has gone straight through my heart nimeifeel 😭😭😭 it's a shame it still happens 😥😥
We must care... Care for the craft, care for the time, care for the individual input. Give a Care!!!
Wow! This is the side we don’t see. Well depicted. It seems to me you need to get yourselves a strong guild and union. As long as some of you are willing to go behind the backs of others, all of you will
keep getting screwed over. Oh...And a really good lawyer and debt collector....
This is so disgustingly relatable..i mean right from auditions, sexual harassments, Crazy call times all the way to...the mobile subscriber is not reachable..!!!! Brian Ogola, peter kawa and rest you did a great job 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you. 😊👍🏾
I cried!! This is it guys. Hatuwezi endelea kuishi hivi😭😭😭😭
So this is how it feels when your story is told as you watch it....... Where is the lie? I mean, this is our day to day life, this is what we go through each single time..... Ah Greg and team this is awesome, thank you bro
Great Film,I have gone thru this as an Actor.i dont think theres any Actor who has not gone thru this in his or her Acting Career.Nishawai fungiwa Nyumba some years back Landlord alikua ananishow mtu tunaona kwa Tv kila siku na anashindwa kulipa nyumba.Saa hio Producer ashaakula pesa zetu zote.
This name Waiguru😂😅🤣 I think it's now synonymous to self centered individuals.
Wow! I loved how the calls were intercut, the what's app chat plane. A nice plot for an upcoming writer like me👍👌
We happy you liked our edit style and for you as a writer we look forward to working with you in the future.
Utleast we know what you go through and its ashame.... It reflects everywhere.... Greatest film
Not what I thought the topic would be but every filmmaker can relate.
This film should have more views.... Soooo underrated
Triiiiggggeeeerrrrrssss....Good Job Greg! This is exactly what happens... Sad but true...I think most industry peeps would relate, years and years after a production and still no pay...sad state of affairs!
Creatives go through a lot .
🤗🤗🤗
Kazi nzuri Sana. Keep up the good work.
When a conversation starts with... ‘ I haven’t told anyone else this...’ sijui ‘We will have more projects in the future.’ Lies.
...OMG this is great work💯❤,am so inlove with Kenya work...all the actors👌🏾 waooo💞...this is what we should be having playing on the Kenyan media especially now...the art is more louder ...This was so sad to watch knowing how the Kenyan situation Is rn 😭...yani the rich are out to exploit those who are just trying to put a meal on the table🥺
Hatuwezi endelea kuishi hivi.
This is what goes down.
Interesting! So this is what upcoming actors/actresses go through.
I enjoyed the film. I watched this after reading the article on Buzz in Sunday Nation.
If this is what artists go through, am sorry and touched.
Niliwaskia choice radio jana, the movie is actually way better than advertised,... relatable, catching and top notch acting.
Madam producer unanyoga bei Sana... Acting 👌... The story is on point... enjoyed watching
Shukran kiongozi
Awesome creativity...Nairobi deal makers
The first Kenyan Masterpiece. Been watching so many kenyan movies, this one here is one of a kind. Flawless.
Quite Sad that is the state of the Industry.Well Told!
THE PAIN IS REAL
Awesome movie. Enjoyed every scene. Shots are amazing. Storyline, this is where they say nail on the head? Execs and prods.... Enjoy this one. There are bills to be paid and sorry won't pay my cheque - mate!
Told the stories of what we don't see... We really need to make the accountable accountable.... 😠👌
This is the most relevant movie creatives need to see. I personally relate to the subject matter and I truly hope things will change in our creative industry. Great job Kiwo Films.
with creatives like you the journey is half done
The side us the viewers never get to know about film industry, thank you for this. Good work faith and the rest of the crew.
Noma kazi fiti relatable..Hatuezi endelea kuishi hivi.
This is so amazing 🔥👌 Everrybdy should see this 😎🎬📽️
Right now at this very moment they are seeing this!
Every filmmaker relates😫😫 it's so sad. A1 production though👌👌👌
This story has made me shed tears for real! Thank you for telling it so well! Here's to more awesome films.
Loving the film,,,this theme need to be pushed creators need to be credited as they deserve #hatuezi kuendelea ivi
This is how casting directors play with our psychology and talent when paying
An Amazing Production the story is Painfully, Annoyingly and Truthfully Interesting.....Great Work #KiwoFilms
thank you Luchemo,that pain and anger you feel is one which you can use for the better to change the industry today
@@kiwofilms644 Most definitely
Thanks Bruv. 🙌
The auditioning part story of my life , awesome job my peeps 👏👏👏👏
Relatable and sad reality.... Good job!!!
So timely, entertaining and educative.
Loved that you got three experiences in one movie.
We ni msee wangu, hehe!!!
Crew iko na ma A listers!
Anyone here talking about Peter Kawa's hands? This guy should be a hand model, hehe.
Anyhoo, anyone in the film industry relates with this theme, thanks to Cheque Mate, the conversation's underway. Actors, Crew and other personal engaged in creating art, film or otherwise ought to be well compensated but GREED!!!
Love the cinematography, shot after shot, congrats my brother, and to the whole team as well!!
Congrats bro ...role umepigisha shugli vile inafaa ...keep winning big man
@@wadenationtv2797 Hehe, thanks sana bro, nashukuru imetii!!
The Peter Kawa hand modeling part😂😂he should really get into that field
@@soniaasonia Aha, at least someone agrees with me.
@@mwamburimaole I knoow😂😂
Kwanza the scene in the car all could notice we're the fingers😂😂
My girl @Victoria mzenge never disappoint 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you😍
Weh! Ata nimekasirika afresh. The triggers in this story are not a joke especially for those of us who have families to care for.
Nimefika minute 20 and 14 secs... too relatable. Let me take alcohol ndio niendelee. Triggered
🤣🤣🤣 This path we're on is not for everyone
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very nice work. Subtle lighting techniques, great sound and acting, special mentions to Sanaa and Zubedi.
Great work Kiwo Films. Production and acting have been merged so well here.
This depicts what goes on in the society today. I love how the message is being passed
WOW......Just ...... wow!
Brave. Showing the ugly underbelly of the industry.
Well done guys! The story is succinct and flows great through out.
I really enjoyed the overhead shots of Nairobi. It was just especially beautiful in this film
The part Brian’s character was preparing the equipment felt like a physical manifestation of how much a creative invests in their craft only to just take what they can get. Heartbreaking.
Anyone in the entertainment industry has gone through this and its so sad
I completely agree..
Great job guys 💯
Awesome movie! Proud of you Faith and crew!
Asante.
Kumbe hivi ndio tunafanyiwangwa Woiyeeee soso Wasanii..... Nice movie inapendeza inafunza pia
Thumbs up. Short film was fire. Well in!!!
Well done movie! Can't wait for more from Kiwo films.
👏👏Tutaomoka tu siku moja, siku moja tu.
Kudos......I loved watching this film
Well done !🙌👏
Heeeeh🔥🔥🔥, this is relevant in so many ways👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾really good
Wow.... I love the creativity. The actors did a great job, the whole team did an amazing job. It's a story that most of us can relate to In one way or another. Good job! Congratulations. We need more of this.
Creatives deserve to be paid their worth ...great content and transitions
Great work guys! That's exactly what goes on in this industry of ours. So sad!
Hehhe. Opening up the conversation
You guys did great.
I can relate very well ! A Well put narrative.
Hehe. 💪💪🙌🙌 Kabisa Champ!!
So much meaning in one film
The video editing skills are up there. I wish to see more like this.
Brian Ogola...You are an amazing, amazing, actor.
This great work,hardwork, creativity invested.I am interested in this...and I would wish to join you and grow my skills too even as a talent,just to Know how all is done.
How painfully relatable. And how beautifully executed.
This slaps hard....and it's the sad reality # hatuweziendelakuishihivi
Great job guys
that lady bought a house in RUNDA KIGWARU
Awesome
I love how relatable this is. Beautiful
we love that the movie has related to you in one way or the other now that is beautiful.
This movie is based on true story ya wasanii hii mtaa, I almost stopped watching when I saw the initial budget was 550k and actual budget was pushed to 150k with fake promises of future jobs...nkt!!!! To make it even worth, even that is not paid....wacha niache makasiriko hapa. .
Great stuff. I am not even in the industry but wanted to be the one to light up that match!
Gees is this what the actors go through??....the movie is very informative kudos to all the actors.
some of them go through more,we just gave you a glimpse of their world.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Current situation in our industry, beautifully portrayed ♥️♥️
Perfect👌🏾
My God. Good job Kiwo maole. It's the truth and nothing but the truth. What a sad state of affairs. That restaurant scene should've spoken straight on. Otherwise it's sending chills and igniting anger at the same time. There's total BS from some individuals(cons) in this game 🤔🤔🤔
Damn, i love
This is so true in so many levels .....
Great work friend keep it up 👍
Great work ,educative & good cinematography .
This is such an eye opener but also very sad
Wow! Please keep producing these films. Super relevant and informative. The acting is great as well.
Greg hapa uneweza
2 years later... I'm back here.
It's an honour knowing you guys as fellow film makers...
Great work
Cinema it amber
Kazi safi Grishon.
Thank you for watching fellow film maker
Stories like this must be told...Can't wait to see more and more
3years down the line,, history repeats itself
This is great. Great acting too, and I think other pros can speak for the technical bit but I like it too. Scriptwise, this script speaks to the heart. Anybody in the Kenyan art scene (I don't have the courage to call it an industry) will relate. It is one of the most real local scripts I have seen. A few loopholes though, I feel the scene at the restaurant was unnecessary. The theme of sexual harassment (which I think was supposed to be portrayed here) is so big to be just mentioned in passing without a resolve. It is as big as the theme of money which is adequately tackled. I think it would work either as a film on its own or given more prominence even in the current script but I guess that would make the film longer. Second, the supposed lynching of the rogue producer dragged for a bit long than necessary. Also question remains, how does that solve the actors' financial predicament at that moment?
Something is missing too:signing of the contracts, and why those contracts do not work. Isn't it because people believe it takes a lot of money and time to file a lawsuit? Isn't the legal way something to explore too?
All in all, this is a good film. I will rate 6/10.
Couldn't agree more
Beautiful critique.
Thanks Tash for the useful critique, happy that the team got it right on a number of issues. Cheers 💪.
I love your critique too! True the legal system has to be explored too 💡
