Die Testament: Afrikaans mobile drama dropping Monday
The new show TV I just co-developed and head wrote working with the amazing Nicole Bailey Mostert and Gerhard Mostert. We had a most amazing team of writers including Abena Ayivor Nonzi Bogatsu Jacqueline Trimble Carolyn Cooke Jennifer Hsu and all helped out by Charlie Sapadin. We have an incredible cast including Nico Panagio, Rolanda Marias, Andahr Cotton, Amrain Ismail-Essop, and the inimitable Sandra Prinsloo.
We broke new ground in so many ways
– first Afrikaans five minute drama to be watched on mobile devices
– first class director, producer, crew and cast including the greats of Afrikaans TV and film
– and probably the first Afrikaans drama primarily written by a team of mostly black women! :-).
Been a magical experience.
