ABOUT THE WORK
This project is incredibly close to my heart – an opportunity to create a positive impact against the horrific landscape of drunken driving in SA. With that opportunity came the weight and responsibility of telling these difficult stories; traumatic, senseless moments in time that have irrevocably affected these families’ lives. I wanted to make sure we capture these stories with as much honesty, integrity, respect and dignity as possible – from the moment we engaged with the families until the shoot days and final edit. That included meticulous planning and having a trauma counsellor on set too. One huge challenge is the balance of hard-hitting and sensitivity because ultimately we want to grab the viewer and make them think twice before getting behind the wheel after drinking.
