Production Manager for 15 years, Sébastien Maitre worked on numerous feature-films and lived for several years in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). He participated to shootings such as Kim Nguyen’s “War Witch”, Marc-Henri Wajnberg’s “Kinshasa Kids” and Djo Munga’s “Viva Riva”. Through set scouting and other adventures, the idea came up to write “Wake Up, Kinshasa!”, a social fable conceived as an anthem to the Congolese creativity.
