The courage zone is my playground

South Africa has 11 official languages and even more different cultures. The fact that there is so much cultural diversity in South Africa, and in and around Johannesburg, inspired us to go explore Soweto – a part of Johannesburg neither of us have been to. We thought it would be a good idea to try to portray Soweto through local eyes.

Being best friends since high school, Moabi has featured in numerous of my projects. This video served as an opportunity to showcase his talent in front of the camera. I am an honors documentary film student and have produced some short films and documentaries. My ambition is to break into the feature film industry after graduating at the end of this year.

As a presenter, Moabi's ambition is to expand his on-screen experience to hopefully move on to bigger projects. Winning this scholarship would present a great opportunity for him to hone his skills. I also want to develop my talents as a documentary filmmaker, therefore gaining experience under a mentor would be very beneficial for me. One of my dreams is also to start up a side project focusing on creating short doccies for non-profits.

And we would really like to see Rio!
