Who you work with matters. This was probably one of the worst productions I worked on last year. *BUT, the camera team and lighting crew were amazing. DP took the nonsense we were served and made it work. 1st AD took control where he could and made everything work πŸ”₯ @fka_dlozi @trigger_thamz @brittany_borderland @andrebadenhorst @mpholosmacdonald Rest East Rasta Everything else? Makeup artist and some talent were hours late. Production/director didn't check if talent could swim (a key aspect to the whole shoot). Craft table didn't exist. We were expected to work over and above extended hours. At one point crew were made to sit and wait on the street without any security. And im still waiting to be paid the balance by production/director πŸ™„

Last weekend at Tweefontein Melkery we popped into Terry's Trove and spent the day filming Season 2 of "Welcome to The Table" a Galpalooza Fest initiative, where we are welcoming some amazing women to the proverbial "Table" πŸš€ We believe it's important to understand the whotnots of this tricky music industry. And hearing the stories of powerful performers is where this show is at. Keep an eye on the Galpalooza socials for the episode releases. But till then, here's some rad behind the scene snaps! #bts #behindthescenes #galpalooza2026
