CityPeople Celebrates Beautiful Nollywood UK Film Producer, Hellen Atim

Helen Atim is an accomplished movie practitioner. She lives in London, the United Kingdom where she is a notable and eminent member of Nollywood. She has paid her dues. A few days back CityPeople spoke to her about her success story. And she told us a lot about how she has been able to sustain her interest in Film making.

 

 Hellen Atim is an Independent Film Producer.  She is the CEO of Hellen Atim Productions Ltd and a Founder of Women Make Change Charity.

 

 "I started my Film journey in 2014" she explained, "and It was not an easy one because I knew nothing about Film Making apart from watching films on  TV."

"So after producing 13 Films both Home and Abroad I realised that Filmmaking is not an easy endeavor. Both the Art and the Business of Independent Films Makers are constantly evolving. New challenges emerge at every stage of development, Production, Post Production and Distribution. In spite of all the challenges, I'm in love with Film making. I love my stories being turned into Films and seeing them on screen and I can never let anything stand in my way until I get to the top. I want to see my works on the bigger platform like on Netflix etc.

 

Where was she born? Where did she grow up? "I was born In Northern Uganda and I come from a Large Family. My father is Okeny Tiberio Lapit and my mother is Santina Apoto Lapit. I'm the firstborn out of 8 children, although I lost one of my brothers in 2016.

It was not easy growing up in Northern Uganda because of the war that lasted for about 20 plus years. It was not easy going to school for me. Because of that, I can't talk much about my academic background.

Let us also tell you that since she relocated abroad to the UK, she has improved her educational training. She has NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care. She also has a degree in Business Management.

She is a valued member of TAMPAN UK.
