The line producer for Lekompo 2, Kamogelo Shelly van Wyk, gets real about what it truly takes to bring a Mzansi Bioskop film to life.
From negotiating costs to building strong relationships with crew members, suppliers, and service providers, it’s all about collaboration and smart planning. Because in this industry, relationships aren’t optional, they are everything and without them, you won’t stay within budget.
