Personally I think its good to explore topics that have relevance to the lives of South African audiences, but the trick is to do it subtly through plot and character, not to mistake “issue” for storytelling. Story is king!

My first short film “Ms. Me” funded by the National Film and Video Foundation and Co-produced by little LA Productions CC and Moving Billboard Picture Company, completed development in 2018 and wrapped production in the same year. 

My second short film “Mier - The Ant” also funded by the National Film and Video Foundation and co-produced by little LA Productions CC, completed development in 2020.

Once I had the script, I constructed a business plan around it. Among other things this involved creating a budget, identifying our audience, creating a unique distribution plan/strategy, a sound marketing plan/strategy, identifying key casting choices, hiring a line producer, securing a LOI from neoPOL Films in Frankfurt together with a capable crew from Johannesburg and Cape Town.

And now I am presenting it to you, hoping you would be willing to fund our picture.
