Judge’s comment on DIRECTION:
“These spots are so charming. There’s a noticeable attention to detail throughout. I love how they champion South African characters so fearlessly; big performances with wall to wall nuances punctuated by an endearing voice over. Just lovely. I was smiling from beginning to end.”
– Chloe Coetsee, Director at Darling Films
(Link in bio)🔥 RESULTS - Best in Craft November 2025 🔥
Another month, another round of work that made our judges sit up a little straighter. For the November IDIDTHAT Craft Awards, we handed the reins to two heavyweights: Suhana Gordhan, Chief Creative Officer at LoveSong, and multiple-time Best in Craft winner Hayden Brown, director and cinematographer at 7 Films. After sifting through the country’s sharpest craft, they crowned this month’s Best in Craft: Thina Zibi from Triple Story Content and Zee Ntuli from Darling Films. Congrats on the top spot, you two, beautifully done.

‘What are the IDIDTHAT.co Craft Awards?’ Every month we team up with ad industry leaders to award the finest in South African film and production craft across these different categories: Direction, Editing, Cinematography, Animation and VFX, Online, Original Sound, Sound Design and Final Mix. It’s just another way that we make it ridiculously easy to stay up-to-date with who’s doing the best work in the country.
