Abbey Tumusiime describes himself as a struggling content creator who is primarily involved in dance videos (short films), movie production, web development, and it’s a visible talent that he possesses because his studies also come along and he manages to balance the two worlds.
When it comes to YouTube, many individuals strive to amass a sizable following and the associated wealth, but Abbey, who works as a web developer in his day job, uses the platform to hone his editing and directing abilities. He attributes the high number of viewers to luck.
But because it was influenced by dancers like Andrew Lee and Ian Eastside Hood, there is no understatement in his dancing.
We have linked to a number of videos on his YouTube channel that have specific names underneath to entice you to return. For instance, Arthur Tumwesigye created the Falling1 (Emily), Falling2 (downfall), and Falling3 (station) storylines.
It’s quite intriguing that we were unaware that these three distinct episodes were intended to serve as a trailer for a future film, drawing our attention to “presets” in the process.
We are all aware that if one is linked to everything without any assistance, it can end up being a hefty load. The staff that Abbey works with is incredibly zealous and committed (Trilz media). And these various employees are actually given different roles (digital creators). For instance, the CEOs of Trilz Media and Trilz Collection are filmmaker Pedro Mulondo and screenwriter Arthur.
These many dance routines appeared to have been broadcast on his various social media accounts, from his WhatsApp status to YouTube, even if some of the media outlets did not support him. He primarily used YouTube, but he also experimented with other services like Amazon Prime.
One might wonder if Tumusiime suffered any setbacks, and the answer is yes. He claims that because we are leaving in a country where contemporary dance is not as popular, the interest will be lower because people in Uganda are more interested in a specific vibe or genus.
Although views and followers are not his issues, his passion is what drives him to do what he does. And he says that each time he uploads a video to his YouTube channel, it becomes a milestone for him and a new skill is developed in the production, directing, and setting, and this comes with exploration in his video venture. He attributes it to having fun.
He also claims to have faced a copy right strike that dragged his YouTube channel’s following from 6.7k to 45, but this didn’t stop him, and falling series are like a rebuild for him. Despite his difficulties, he enjoys it.
Tumusiime claims that unless you look at his old YouTube videos, there is no picture of him dancing on screens in ten years.
He expresses his desire to be married, wealthy, and at home managing various businesses. “I can’t grow old dancing,” Abbey says. “Some people do, but it’s not my thing.”
But the truth is that he wants Abbey Tumusiime to grow alongside him as a “brand name,” because he believes that when your name grows big, everything around you grows with it. This will be a watershed moment for Trilz media, and as such, it is the only media with which he sees himself working in the future.
