And a long road it has been, but I have some exciting news. My latest film has been very successful and I had the fortunate opportunity to go to Cannes in May and meet Mr. Steven Spielberg himself at the première for Indiana Jones.
Anyway, today's headlines are just to let you all know that we (H.O and I) are back from Cannes and man, what an experience. The film did well, with many professionals around the world surprised with how real and authentic the film was with such a small budget. Some of the other short films there were shot on budgets exceeding over a million rand. So I'm quite happy to say that we pulled AT THY CALL off with only R40 000 / $5000 - Please check out the trailers here.

We've now made contact with some big players overseas and investors who are interested in co producing with South Africa. So... its back to the writing board for me to get my next script out there. I'm going to be updating the page soon with pictures from CANNES and VIDEOS... but for now, if any of you have facecrap... or facebook as they call it, take a look at the AT THY CALL @ CANNES FAN page that I have up for now. There are pictures there and vids. Check out the video with Quintin Tarrintino, that was really awesome.
Here is the link to the AT THY CALL @ CANNES PAGE

PS. AT THY CALL has been accepted into the Durban International Film Festival and will be competing for best Short film. Its also been invited to the AFI film festival in LOS ANGELES... Wish us luck.
