New Media Platform : "Dynamic
wiz kid"
 |
One
of the primary film / documentary producers for the
Urban Culture Development Project! Consisting of young
entreperneurs that have grown tired of the infested
coach-potato / laid-back attitude. Bored stiff with
what has been bombarding the TV frequencies and media
hype; like you can almost picture them thinking... "we
can do (sh)it better". And thats exactly what they
do! A very young enterprize consisting of (graduated)
film- and environmental students capable of making you
look at the very ordinary in a very different way. A
quality highly saught after and highly respected! When
I approached New Media for there assistance with the
project, they immediately showed interest knowing that
there were no short term financial gain. They were more
interested in the vision and the concept behinid an
endeavour of this kind. Big up... their work speak for
itself! |
| Working
out of his small bedroom, this dynamic wiz kid (brother
Anthony- Dan), has really done some of the sickest filming
and editing of different exponents of Urban Street Culture
that I've seen in a span. At a drop of a hat.... he
be like... "yo lets do this shit". A non-conformist
in his own right who has a feel, taste and anticipation
for urban culture, and a willingness to slave away deep
into the night. You can catch him at a show/gig with
his camera, at the skate park, in the City centre, outside
clubs catching a free-style cypher, at the various Graffiti
walls-of -fame... interviewing people left-right-and
-centre. |

With
these short edited clippings, the viewer get a brief
introduction on different aspects of urban living in
Cape Town. From taking a taxi out of the city centre...
to going into the ghetto and comparing it with the very
rich areas, almost a stone throw away from each other...
and some aspects of the Rastafari Culture in South Africa.
Look and see for yourself! Its not your average S.A.
Tourist Board way of presentation... cause in anyway
they only paint a pretty picture of the ideal holiday
destination, totally overlooking what makes up the heart
and soul of the Mothercity... |
