This inspired the helicopter scene in Who Killed Captain Alex?.
As he had never been in a theatre, he relied mostly on his brothers and friends' descriptions of films that were just released theatrically.
He went for a course in computer repair, but was forced to drop out after the first month due to lack of funds.
Therefore, he started to learn filmmaking and its aspects in a self learning methods with his own trial-and-error experiences with cameras and editing equipment.
At the age of 32, he began filmmaking as a profession.
In 2005, Nabwana founded Ramon Film Productions: the name derived from his grandmothers, Rachel and Monica, which is later known as Wakaliwood.
His film production is based in his home where he began to produce and shoot music videos since 2009.
Ramon Production has involved over 44 feature films.
Some of the popular films produced by Ramon Productions are Who Killed Captain Alex?, Bad Black, and Tebaatusasula.
The film Who Killed Captain Alex is known as the first action-packed film in Ugandan cinema.

Alan Hofmanis, a film festival director based in New York City, saw the film and became known as a super fan; he subsequently traveled to Uganda, met Nabwana and asked to produce a documentary on Ramon Film Productions.
Hofmanis has since moved to Uganda to help promote Wakaliwood cinema worldwide and is now an executive producer and actor at Wakaliwood.
He was also given a starring role in Nabwana's 2016 film Bad Black and has been called "the first Mzungu Ugandan action movie star."
According to IMDb, Nabwana has won 6 awards from various film festivals.
