An African girl once made a TV show. Then another. And after making her first cinematic short film, her eyes were filled with stars... Hollywood stars! But how do we get there? And most importantly, what is YOUR hollywood? As you join her journey, she shares what not to do, how to do what you should be doing and how like a phoenix, to keep rising up from the ashes of defeat, over and over and over again. To succeed in this indie-storyteller life, you need THE WRITE STUFF!

episode African Film Extraction Contractions... cover

African Film Extraction Contractions...

We're back!  And in this first episode of the new year, we speak to award-wining filmmaker, visionary and self-taught, self-promoted film educator Amil Shivji. I met Amil in New York as part of our Africa First win many years ago and at some point in our trip, we were 2 starry-eyed Africans, stuck in a Halloween Parade in the middle of Greenwich Village, listening to Swedish House Mafia amazed at how many people don't mind walking around half naked in freezing weather, just to celebrate Halloween! We have both grown since then and we speak about the idea of African cinema; What is it? Does anyone even know...? We discuss how the process of cinema can be so extractive, contracting the overall experience and how we can make it more collaborative as Africans. There are on set stories stories about disrupting communities, ginger tea and ostentatious African weddings and having a proud and solid African identity. Amil's new period love story, Vuta N'Kuvute or Tug of War is set to be release in the last half of 2021! https://www.dohafilminstitute.com/financing/projects/grants/tug-of-war Links to some of Amil's work can be found below: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5065217/ https://www.kijiweniproductions.com/films And on KWELI TV!

Pitching Platforms

This week I speak to producer, storyteller and businesswoman Deshuna Spencer! Deshuna is the brains and brawn behind Kweli TV, a streaming platform which celebrates global black culture through curated, undiscovered and award-winning indie films, documentaries, web series, children’s programming and events. If you were once told that you can't make money from short films, well clearly you haven't found the right platform as yet and for me, Kweli TV has been it! We talk about failing and pivoting,  biblical "Job" moments, paralysed dogs, long awaited breakthroughs and one day building a "Disney" one curated film at a time. Check out KweliTv and subscribe! https://www.kweli.tv More about Deshuna in the articles below: https://www.theringer.com/2020/11/19/21575015/kwelitv-founder-deshuna-spencer-on-creating-a-home-for-black-content-and-running-a-streaming-service https://medium.com/authority-magazine/deshuna-spencer-of-kwelitv-optimal-performance-before-high-pressure-moments-how-to-relieve-cc25fe63e4b5

Ego Decks, Ancestors and the Ark of the Covenant

This week I speak to award winning filmmaker and a multi-degree earner, Sihle Hlophe .  Sihle has written and directed two short films that have been screened at over 30 international film festivals. She is an alumni of the IDFAcademy (the Netherlands), the North-South-South Student Exchange Program (Finland) and the Hot Docs Blue Ice Group Story Lab (Canada).  She is also the producer/director of a feature length documentary, Lobola, A Bride’s True Price. Sihle has worked as a scriptwriter and story-liner for episodic drama series on SABC, eTV and DSTV.  Amongst some very serious things, like making films that matter, Sihle and I talk about out-of-body experiences that lead you down a rabbit hole, the ark of the covenant being in Africa, Southern Africa to be specific, and why everybody is supposed to give you a chance after your first successful short film, I mean hello...!  Links to some of the works mentioned are below: Nomfundo Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePr-iiLv22Q Follow the development of Lobola: a bride's True Price on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lobola_brideprice_documentary/ Work Readiness for emerging filmmakers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF-wmittq6s

Artists and Auteurs

This week, we speak to award winning artist and commercials director, Nare Mokgotho. Nare has won major awards for both his fine art work and his leap into the world of film rewarded his bravery with 2 Cannes Lions Gold-Screen awards for his very first 2 ads - Ever! How is that?! Some think he has a charmed life. Others think he's lucky. I think he is just a regular (very talented) oke with a lot of curiosity in his pocket! In this episode we speak about what happens after success, the imposter syndrome and the hope that is creating a work of art. See some of Nare's award winning work below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVJN9HvUCUA&feature=emb_title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUTtSELY0b0&feature=emb_title https://foundwork.art/guest-curators/madeyoulook

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
