520 |a "Creative Hustling is the first book length study about Nairobi-based female filmmakers and their labor as artists and entrepreneurs. Based on original empirical research, Steedman explores how these women pair their cinematic ability with an equally apt business acumen, contributing to a narrative of what it takes to succeed as a filmmaker in Nairobi. This book theorizes "hustling" as a creative practice and an innovative mode of working-one that can teach us new lessons about what it takes to produce and distribute film today, in a global age increasingly marked by flexible and precarious work"--  |c Provided by publisher.
