When Paul Kihuha, 34, set out to make camera support equipment to use while shooting his own music videos, he didn’t know it would lead him to Protisa Creations, a business he founded in 2013 after noticing a gap in the market for film equipment. Today, his clients include top film directors and musicians. 

How did you know there was a market for film equipment?

The market found me. I made a camera crane to help me shoot a music video and a series of events led me here, running Protisa Creations and working with top film directors and musicians.
