DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
John’s casting in the scripted podcast series “Ice Lions”
Summary: A group of teenagers play ice hockey, a sport that most other Kenyans have never even seen, on the lone rink in all of East Africa.
Despite their lack of official skating gear and limited understanding of the regulations, the players gel into a strong team under the guidance of captain John Kitumaini and the youthful brother-sister duo of Mercy and Sam.

And even dare to dream of unifying Kenya as a whole, not just the magnificent metropolis of Nairobi. The Ice Lions are these. And this is the account of their creation.
During studio sessions, a small camera crew may be present to record behind-the-scenes material, such as actors rehearsing, recording, and doing brief interviews.
