Speaking to Mpasho.co.ke, Kibinge said she hopes one day the Kenyan government and its people will realise that filmmaking inspires generations in so many ways.
"We would change ourselves and become more coz that is who we are."
"Filmmakers go through so much and I think, the very first one is a lack of understanding of what is the importance of films," she said.
"There is a reason we see America the way we do. It is because we've seen their films since we could speak and we could open our eyes, no matter where we were raised at.
"We see America very ahead, not coz films translate what America is and what Americans want to project America to be."
She further explained that most countries have real respect for storytellers and for creators and artistes.
"You walk around and every building and statue speaks to you. Because the parks are designed in certain ways," she said.
"These are countries that respect their art. Here, I think we have so many needs and the feeling is that artistes come after we develop, but there is something that has been misunderstood.
"Those artistes create a mirror in front that allows us to develop and become who we are supposed to be. A country that doesn't support its artistes is poorer in some ways."
