Norway produces about 18 films a year.
In Africa, however, the film industry is experiencing tremendous growth, and they produce more than 3000 films a year.
In Tanzania the film industry is called Swahiliwood
If you act in a movie here, you can be seen by more then 100 million people
That's why we came here.
We are going to become movie stars in Swahiliwood
At the airport in Dar es Salaam we meet an agent, Richard..
and one of Tanzania's most well known comendians, Joti.
There are TV people here already, promising... Very suprising. Yes, a bit surprising.
It turns out to be a small misunderstanding.
Tanzanian TV thinks we really are famous movie stars.
They don't only interview us, but also our TV crew, who don't quite understand why they are interviewed.
When they realize that we are just two brothers who have never been in a film, we are not that interesting anymore.
The comedian, Joti, tells us about the houmor in Tanzania, and shows us what he is famous for in Tanzania, the "Joti Style".
He says that if you do this move in Tanzania, everyone knows ...
That guy was fantastic. I think we will see more of him.
We actually never saw him again.
Now when our one minute of Tanzanian fame is over, we start from scratch as two boring foreigners.
Most of the movies in Swahiliwood are made in the capital, Dar Es Salaam.
There they make everything from comedy to drama and sci-fi.
It's the Swahili movies that sells the most, those are the populare ones.
They do have other things, like "Spiderman", but that's not really what's "in".
This is from the movie "I hate my wife 2".
And this is from the movie "My Son", that depicts the relationship between a father and his son.
They also make action films, like this one "Double J".
But we want most of all is to play in a sci-fi film like this one, "Boxeera".
He who fixes everything, he can get me killed if I want that.
When you make a film in Tanzania, it spreads further on to Kenya, Kongo, Uganda and Rwanda, where they also speak Swahili.
We can reach an audience of 180 million people.
The question is how we will manage to get a role in an Central-African mega hit.
Richards tells us that in Swahiliwood people don't go to auditions.
We have to become part of a theatre group to get discovered.
We have ten days.
Okay, cheers, we are going to become big movie stars in Tanzania.
Right now I feel we have quite a long way to go.
