Zero Chills TV, whose slogan is ‘We Believe in Aliens’, was founded in 2015 by ‘by broke campus students’ of Moi University in Eldoret, western Kenya.
Zero Chills TV makes lots of experimental movies on various issues affecting young people: dating, drugs, religious extremism and terrorism, tribal chauvinism and stereotypes, and the desire to belong.

‘We do v-logging and are the first Netizens before they finally shut down the Internet,’ the group says. ’We talk a lot in an attempt to make the world a better place through laughter. Our job is to shoot things that don’t matter, then post them like they matter and then probably get a contract here and there? In addition to being big-headed spoilt brats, we love sharing.’
