"What impressed me the most is a statement that is ringing in my mind up till now.  WHEN YOU DON'T SHOOT YOUR MOVIE, YOU STOP ALL OPPORTUNITIES THAT WOULD HAVE COME OUT OF IT.  That was a straight message against procrastination" Robert Nkambo said. Other messages to filmmakers from Adjani's responses were;

Find your audience, be down to earth, ask for the highest pay, be creative in all situations, strive to be the best in your area, study every scene of the movie that inspired you to prepare your pitch and take advantage of what you have.

Robert Nkambo commends Goethe-Institut and her partners for this gesture. "I have no doubt that this initiative has is making a great contribution to the growth of Ugandan budding film industry. Looking forward for more" he concluded.
