Our story
The idea for Kazi Productions emerged in early 2022, driven by a desire to make the creative process more accessible and affordable. Financing artistic projects can be a challenge, and as artists, we asked ourselves: How can we come together, work within our means, and get started without being stuck? That question shaped our approach—we focus on doing what we can, with what we have, while building a supportive community around us.
Collaboration is at the heart of our work. We believe in long-term partnerships built on mutual respect, recognizing that every project has its own unique needs. Whether it’s financing, production, or distribution, we work with established partners while also exploring alternative and innovative approaches. Our focus is always on finding solutions that are practical, sustainable, and true to the vision of the artists we collaborate with.
