In August I had the privilege of working on the Lincolnshire based feature film @infromthedarkfilm

For this project I was primarily a production runner but assisted in different departments such as script and continuity and AD.

This was an absolutely incredible experience which I will never forget❤️

This August, I had the absolute privilege of spending three weeks working as 1st AC on @middlemanproductions latest film, @infromthedarkfilm.

Being part of this project was incredibly special to me. It taught me so much about the graft, dedication and precision that goes into being a 1st AC, and gave me the opportunity to learn, grow and push myself in the role.

Above all, I had the best time working alongside such an incredible group of people who trusted me to step up, stay sharp and get stuck in.

A massive thank you to our DOP, @jessjamesharris, for your guidance, patience and for helping me learn and grow throughout the process. So grateful to have been part of this one! ❤️

As South Africa steps into peak festival season, our new short documentary film ‘ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE DANCE FLOOR’ offers a timely lens on what continues to connect people across scenes, cities, and sounds.

‘All Roads Lead to the Dance Floor’, directed by @grantdesousa and produced by Anything Goes, arrives at the start of summer as a cultural snapshot of the country’s music-driven social life - where different journeys ultimately converge on the same floor.

The film follows a series of characters inspired by our flagship festivals, moving through distinct worlds and emotional states.

“From the beginning, our focus has been on creating experiences that feel culturally honest,” says @shaunduvet, Founder and CEO of Anything Goes. “This film represents how urban culture, music, and shared spaces intersect - and how the dance floor has become one of the most powerful
platforms for connection in the experiential economy. It’s where people from different worlds meet, move together, and momentarily belong to the same story.”

This summer, whether arriving barefoot on the beach, drenched in glitter, lost in Afro-house, or lit by lasers, the message is clear: different journeys, one destination.

All Roads Lead to the Dancefloor.

Faced with the brief of “the majority of this piece is driving,” we built our own midnight road trip: 90% of the driving shots were filmed in a studio with a projector and some moody nighttime plates.
