EBhOfolo     (film: pre-production)

'Ebhofolo' is an experimental short fiction film co-written with Jannous Aukema. It follows the story of two black characters, one a waitress, the other a hired killer, as they navigate a day in their lives in Cape Town. BUSI, a waitress who works for a seaside restaurant in Cape Town’s upmarket, predominantly white coastal service industry, struggles to shape her identity as a young women continually erased and undermined by the subtle and perverse racism of her industry and clientele. TENDAIE, a man who finds himself indebted to a violent society in which he has no control, must carry out the violence of an unknown organisation, one that he can neither challenge nor escape. Both characters are stuck in a hostile world,  that by its very existence denies them the right to self-determinacy.
