Showmax Originals created an important middle layer in our industry. A space where young filmmakers could make real work at low risk while learning the craft.
Without that middle step, the pipeline weakens. The impact may not be immediate, but years from now we’ll feel the gap.
Which is why incubation and mentorship are now more important than ever.
Saw this at ARIFF last year. The chemistry between Sechaba Ramphele and Nandipha Khubone was incredible, the story engaging and emotive enough that I was rooting for these two strangers who just happened to spend one night together.
