S3 EP8: The Final Chapter - This Is ADMI ft Papa Billions

When Papa Billions got the call from PhilIt Productions to work on A Grand Little Lie, it felt like a turning point. But this wasn’t his first break. It was the result of years spent showing up, staying consistent, and solving problems even when no one was watching. A former film student at the Africa Digital Media Institute (ADMI), Papa had already built a reputation for being dependable and sharp behind the scenes. He started out running errands and doing camera work for free, but his attitude always stayed the same: “If I can solve a problem, I will. Payment comes later.” In this episode, he walks us through the journey. From his days struggling to balance classwork with client gigs, to becoming a trusted producer with two weekly shows under his belt. He talks about working on one of Africa’s biggest film premieres in 2024, learning on set with some of Kenya’s most respected filmmakers, and finally moving into his own place. Proof that the hustle pays off when you keep your purpose in sight. If you're an aspiring filmmaker, creative producer, or just someone trying to figure it out, this story will remind you: nothing is wasted. Everything prepares you. Watch, learn, and get inspired. This is not just school. This is ADMI.
