1. Early Beginnings: Secondary School to Professional Modeling
Sir Kuda Centurion’s journey began in secondary school, where he first showcased his talents in modeling, scriptwriting, and directing. “I was the one and only ‘Mister’ of my school,” he proudly shared, reminiscing about his early ventures into coordinating social events and directing plays, both in school and at church.
Transitioning from secondary school accolades to a full-fledged career in entertainment, Sir Kuda delved into modeling, where he not only posed for conceptual photos but also trained aspiring models. His involvement in designing national costumes for events like Miss Universe underscored his creative versatility.

“Alongside modeling, I’m deeply rooted in the film industry,” Sir Kuda elaborated, listing his roles as an actor, director, writer, and editor. He vividly described his directorial debut with “Passion Play,” a live performance that left a profound impact on its audience with its realism and emotional intensity.
Reflecting on his journey in the entertainment industry, Sir Kuda acknowledged the challenges inherent in the field, particularly in Cameroon. “It’s not a walk in the park,” he confessed, citing hurdles like limited support and resources from stakeholders and the government. Despite these challenges, his passion and dedication remain unwavering. “I haven’t made it yet,” he humbly remarked, emphasizing his continuous pursuit of excellence.
3. Navigating Challenges: Family Opposition and Career Shifts
Family opposition initially posed a significant obstacle to his career aspirations. “My family was my first major hurdle,” Sir Kuda revealed, recounting how their skepticism compelled him to momentarily shift focus during his university years. Despite these setbacks, his determination to excel in entertainment prevailed.
Sir Kuda’s career trajectory also saw him explore diverse roles beyond entertainment. He spent time as a TV presenter and contributed significantly to scriptwriting and production at PSTV. However, familial expectations prompted him to briefly venture into the medical field, specializing in medical imaging, before returning to his true passion.

“Time management is key,” Sir Kuda emphasized when asked about balancing his myriad roles. His disciplined approach allows him to juggle multiple responsibilities seamlessly, often working tirelessly into the night editing films or preparing for model training sessions. “I sleep a maximum of four hours a day,” he admitted, underscoring his commitment to making every moment count.
5. CAMIFF and Beyond: Advocating for Cameroon’s Film Industry
Sir Kuda also reflected on the Cameroon International Film Festival (CAMIFF), applauding it as a crucial platform for the nation’s burgeoning film industry. He encouraged all Cameroonians to support such initiatives, recognizing their role in elevating local talent on the global stage.
