A family-friendly comedy tourism campaign for @visitrasalkhaimah from earlier in the year.
Thanks to @impactbbdo for trusting me with their baby and @thegoldminesocial for making it happen.
We shot this over two legs, so there are way too many people to credit and thank. Love you all.
(Link in bio) 🔥Simpleman+. South Africa Made. Globally Proven.🔥
What happens when a lean, internationally-seasoned service production company teams up with a jet-setting filmmaker who’s directed everything from big-budget banking ads to Oscar winners?
You get Simpleman+, a proudly local production company with global chops and a mission to create South African work that holds its own on the international stage.
We got to travel the world and make this absolutely ridiculous show with the one and only @schalkiebez .
@worldsstrangestjobs is coming out this Sunday on @amazonprimevideoza .
Shout out to the core crew who kept the wheels turning. I love you all. @adamvinokur@jarryd_yeoman@brendanwassermann
Finally, I couldn’t have done it without my creative partner and unofficial therapist @warwick_eccles . You kept the show afloat.
Huge thanks to @delonbakker and @kyleambrose for making the magic happen 💵
There are WAY too many other people to thank that were part of prep, shoot and post. You know who you are… I owe you many many beers.
Super excited to announce that “Crave” is having its North American premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal (@fantasiafestival ).
If by chance you’re in town, it’ll be showing tomorrow night and Thursday afternoon.
Well done team 🇫🇷🇿🇦
A few photos from the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival 🇫🇷 (@clermontisff ).
Shout out to the entire Crave team. You know who you are.
I can finally announce that “Crave” has been selected for the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival (@clermontisff ). The biggest short film festival in the world and an Academy Award qualifying festival. Our film will be in the National Competition.
There are far too many people to thank in one single post, but you know who you are... From friends and family to the cast and crew who worked long nights in the freezing cold in Brittany, France. Thank you ❤️
