Transcending Limitations with Editor Dave Kalema

Dave Kalema is an assistant editor at Library Films. His journey into post-production is interestingly unique, and we're sure it'll be an inspirational conversation as he steadily drops gems of wisdom throughout.

We talk about his eclectic upbringing and how growing up between Uganda and the US gave him the valuable skill of adaptability. With sports as an early passion, it was this avenue that gave him his first look at both business and editing.

We learn about the times in his life when putting himself out there and creating opportunities from nothing gave him the trajectory he needed. He also shares how he impressively navigated without connections.

Later in the episode, we're joined by Jennifer Sofio Hall and Bedonna Smith, phenoms and founders of Industry Standard. They share what was so rare about Dave's story that he was offered a residency at Industry Standard, a program for creative professionals that aims to connect talent with opportunity. Their recollection is so moving, surely it'll help you dive into your unique story in order to rise to the top.
