Phil-it productions has lately blown up in the film industry by producing the new ‘click click bang’ movie which has been received very well by Kenyans.

This is after holding a premiere at the Kenya cinema and managing to scoop Ksh. 2.5 million during its opening.

Speaking during an interview with SPMBuzz, the Phil-it CEO, Philip Karanja explained on the tactics they instilled for their major success.

“We did research on why the film industry isn’t that successful in Kenya, for over a year,” said Philip.

The renowned Kenya Director, Philip Karanja, is famously known to many as the former Citizen TV’s drama show, Tahidi High where he played the character ‘Melvin’.

The father of two is married to Catherine Kamau alias Kate Actress, a celebrated Kenyan Actress, a brand ambassador not to mention an entrepreneur who has continued to up her game in the industry for a long while.

Philip Karanja has not only produced Click Click Bang but also, A Grand Little Lie which was nominated for the Best movie in East Africa at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).

Click Click Bang is based on a true story from Abel Mutua’s ‘Young and Stupid’ episodes on YouTube.

Phil had earlier opened up, speaking on ManCave, he explained on how his interest in film came in after he lost his dad adding on how he had to struggle with self-doubt and his lack of self-confidence.

“My dad passed away in Form 2 and it was a blessing in disguise. I used to do well in school not because I wanted to but just to impress my dad,” expressed Phil, “I never used to believe in myself. I used to overwork myself just to prove that I am good at what I do.”
