In 2000, at the age of 14, Danis helped found the Woyee Film and Theatre Industry to perform plays to keep busy at the camp.

The group wrote and performed plays that on subjects that spoke to the refugees like HIV, domestic violence and women's rights.

It attracted attention from non-governmental organizations, which hired Woyee to make short educational films, and Danis learned filmmaking from FilmAid International.

It received an enthusiastic reception from the over 500 people who showed up on the first day, many of whom could not believe it was South Sudanese and drawing comparisons to Nollywood.

Known as Jam Records, the studio seeks to promote the work of South Sudanese artists based in Uganda.
