This is where it started.
No stunt team. No weeks of prep.
Just a conversation, a planā¦ and a decision to go for it.
One day of training. Thatās it.
Everything youāre about to see came from this moment.

Behind the scenes with @itsmphatso as The Burglarāwatching, listening, absorbing everything happening on set. Locked in. Patient. Dangerous in the quiet way.
Mphatso doesnāt just show up, he studies the moment. Every beat matters. Every detail counts. That level of focus? Thatās craft. Thatās respect for the work. Thatās the kind of energy that lifts an entire production without ever asking for the spotlight.
A team couldnāt ask for more, and a story couldnāt ask for a better presence lurking just outside the frame.

My goal for this year is to create as much as I can! Hereās a fun little clip to begin. Iām excited for all the possibilities #acting #casting
TITLE: STRANDED
Words cannot express how I feel right now. My heart is aching knowing that one of the kindest people I know is no longer with us. My Cousin Dumiso this life is unfairā¦I now fully believe it because you were a gentle person who would never hurt anybody. Yet itās you who is no longer here. It pains me I cannot have been with you. Iāll never forget our childhood. From watching power rangers. To dragon ball Z. To playing FIFA! The Christmas weāve spent.
without you there is no me loving football/Soccer. Iāll never forget you teaching me about football manager back in the day- funny enough ive ended up being a coach.
I was blessed enough to see you last year and left beaming as you all got to meet Yera. The sad part that was the last time I would see you. I have the memory of us going our separate ways with a warm feeling in my heart and to know thatās the last memory Iāll have of you is bittersweet. Iāll do my best to support your mother and brothers. But for now enjoy the time with your dad. Until we meet again
Love Mphatso.
On screen this scene is full of tension. Off screen it was all smiles, teamwork, and the support of local businesses who opened their doors and resonated with our story.
Filming in this alleyway became a reminder that community can turn even the most intense shoot days into something joyful.

Wishing my love the Happiest of Birthdays! Hope you have a lovely trip around the sun! I canāt put into words how much I love you! Thank you for being my pillar! from the laughs, to the food runs to the movies. Itās a joy doing it ALL with you. I even got to travel to AFRICA with you !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YERA ššš
Work in progress! Training files.
Got to work on this fun scene from La LaLand. It was interesting to do but getting to play a tiny bit of toxic is kind of fun. I love that this isnāt a break up conversation but a conversation that changes the relationship going forward.

So I usually donāt post my training videos but I want to start sharing more. The assignment we had to do was to pick a character we would most likely never be cast in. So I chose a female character Norca from Our Lady of 121st St. I break for a quick second due to the laughs but luckily the character was laughing in the scene at that moment. So I played it off šš
