Intsimbi: Visually beautiful.

Aright. I just finished a Google meeting with a client, did some exercise, then decided to hop in the shower, regular day right. Nope, Instagram algorithm got me. No jokes they did. For the last two weeks, I’ve been searching and looking for independent film production works, so I could learn because...

How to Ruin Christmas: The Funeral

How to Ruin Christmas: The Wedding, is a masterpiece, cinema at its finest. In my top 10 movies/series of all time. The series had glamour, wit, it celebrated African wealth and success just like Crazy Rich Asians did. The weddings OMG the wedding! If you have not watched the movie, please watch it on Netflix. That is the reason why I wrote my first blog. How to Ruin Christmas: The Funeral, the...

Jiva! From Umlazi to your screen.

 First thing first let's set the record straight the marketing for Jiva! Was not the best, prior to the release, there was no hype. I only found out about Jiva!

The rise of African Films.

If you look back through the lens of the African movie industry, you have to admit we came a long way, I mean from Cape Town to Cairo kind of long. There was a time I detested (I write it down with the utmost respect) detested African films. I would change the channel immediately upon seeing an African movie on my parents TV. Please don't judge me, hear me out for a second, okay maybe like  ten...
