We recently shot a doccie series for @mercedesbenzsa This was the launch event where many of those that were involved in the making of the series were present. Among those invited were thought leaders, industry leaders, Mercedes Benz staff and some great individuals who are amazing in their own spaces and as human beings.
It was an honor to be in their presence and for them to get to see our work. We were razzled with some amazing interpretative dance. We then had a great talk on what transformation means by Mzwandile Stick (Springbok Backline Coach) @stox_stick7 . This was followed by an interesting panel discussion followed by a screening of 2 of the episodes from the series.
Can’t wait for you to see the stories when they drop on the Mercedes site and other platforms. It’s a celebration of collaboration, nation building, nurturing of talent, diversity, empowerment in its various forms and paying it forward. A great look at the impact of one of South Africa’s best corporate citizens. #UluntuLwethu #mercedesbenz #filmmaking #production #lovewhatyoudo #Olamuk #Director #mzikumalodirector @nkumalo
