MediaPlus was started in 1995 as a video production company. Its formation was a result of need to produce professional feature films
and documentary videos – a service that was non-existent in Uganda.

Faced with a dearth of quality video production, large firms were forced to contract video production companies from abroad to do
simple work as filming a 5-minute clip of a road construction or filming the rare mountain gorilla. PR firms also required the services of a company that could handle their media relations by producing quality services.
