Born in Entebbe Town, Sharon moved back to her village in Arua City where she is currently a passionate and dynamic Ugandan film producer, director, scriptwriter, and actress whose work is rooted in storytelling for social change. With over five years of experience in film, theatre, and visual arts, she has emerged as a bold creative voice,
especially within Uganda’s Refugee and Host Communities in the West Nile Sub-region.
As the founder and team leader of WestNile Cinematic Arts Network (WeCAN), Sharon leads an initiative that uses film and performing arts to restore hope, amplify marginalized voices, and advocate for human rights, particularly gender equity. Through WeCAN, she has spearheaded community-based film initiatives that blend artistic expression with social advocacy and capacity building.
Her recent credits include serving as a Producer in her 2024 debut short film Trash Woman, Producer for the series Yat Madit (Big Tree) with Dilstories, and collaborating on Music Composer and writer in the feature film Across Mountain Wati and in
Bitter Harvest, where she also took on acting roles. Sharon has directed theatre pieces like I Am My Mother’s Son and written her debut play Opibu, a compelling exploration of gender-based violence and cultural norms in West Nile.
In addition to her creative pursuits, Sharon is a certified Health and Safety Professional (NEBOSH, UK) and a committed gender specialist.
Sharon’s academic foundation in Social Work and Social Administration from Uganda Christian University enhances her ability to tell nuanced, human-centered stories that resonate with diverse audiences. She brings a unique multicultural perspective to every project she undertakes.
Her long-term vision is to continue empowering communities through art and storytelling, forging global collaborations, and championing women’s voices in cinema.
As a candidate for the Gold Fellowship for Women, she seeks to expand her creative networks, strengthen her directing and producing craft, and contribute to a global
community of transformative filmmakers.
