What a night. 🎬
Thank you to everyone who came out to the uMalusi 2 premiere screening. Watching you gasp, laugh and argue over Thembi's choices on the big screen is why we make these films.
Siyabonga kakhulu kini nonke. 🙏🏾

Day 2 of the Soweto Film Market Screening Program was one for the books! 🎬

From powerful stories to unforgettable moments on screen, audiences came together to experience a diverse selection of local and international films celebrating the creativity, voices and perspectives of filmmakers from across the world.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the filmmakers and made Day 2 such a memorable part of the Soweto Film Market.

And we’re not done yet. One more day of stories, cinema and connection awaits.

"The first uMalusi was self-funded and made out of necessity. It took six years to make the second because we were waiting for the audience to tell us they wanted it. They did, and they kept asking where the love story goes. That's what turned this into a trilogy."

One night. One million rand. Both of you have to agree.

Yes or no? Tell me in the comments, because that's the argument uMalusi is built on.

Caught up with Mo G on 938 Afternoon Drive about it.

There’s nothing quite like experiencing a story with an audience.

From the laughter, the silence, the gasps, and the conversations that followed, our premiere screening of SOLITARY reminded us why we tell stories in the first place.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, engaged with the film, and stayed for the Q&A session. It was a privilege for our cast and crew to share the creative journey behind the project—the challenges, the inspirations, and the passion that brought SOLITARY to life.

Moments like these belong to everyone who believed in the film from day one.

The journey continues. 🎬

We shot something.

A story about isolation.
About longing.
About the dangerous comfort of being understood.

I had the honour of stepping into her skin —
and scoring the silence between her thoughts.

Solitary.
