LittleBig director Rob Smith on big storytelling with restraint for ‘Safely Home’ campaign
Last year, more than 700 mothers in the Western Cape lost a child to road-related incidents. ‘Safely Home’, the campaign directed by LittleBig’s Rob Smith for Ogilvy Cape Town and the Western Cape Government, approaches that reality with restraint and care. While comedy may be Rob’s most visible calling card, this work shows his ability to handle big, emotionally complex stories with a measured, thoughtful approach.
Director Mark Strydom brings the lessons of Africa home to Robot
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, director Mark Strydom is making things official with Robot, joining the team for local representation and bringing experience shaped across Africa and international markets back home. For the past few years, Mark has deliberately been directing outside South Africa, leaning into work across Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique, Ghana, India, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. Different pressures, different cultural nuances, but across every market one principle stayed the same for him, “If the work doesn’t feel real to the people watching it, it doesn’t land.”
Marketer Spotlight: Star Kachisa, Head of Marketing, Spotify Sub-Saharan Africa
As Head of Marketing for Spotify Sub-Saharan Africa, Star Kachisa leads work across some of the most culturally layered markets in the world. She’s clear that the job isn’t to ‘make movies’, but to make work that earns attention, drives behaviour, and actually sells product. Spoiler alert: it’s also really good work. So we sat down with Star to find out how that work gets made, and what really matters along the way.
Markus Wormstorm and Biblo.tv, a direct line to Africa’s musical underground
Composer and music supervisor Markus Wormstorm launched Biblo in 2012 to solve a familiar industry frustration. Directors and editors were stuck choosing between generic library music or culturally relevant tracks that couldn’t be licensed. Biblo emerged as a third option - access to contemporary African sound, built to move seamlessly from offline edit to final delivery.
Q&A with Giant Films director Paul Ward on process, story and creative restraint in branded storytelling
In this Q&A, Giant Films’ director Paul Ward unpacks his process, his approach to storytelling, and how to navigate brand involvement without letting it overpower the human story. In a one-on-one conversation, we dig into the making of ‘The Philipstown WireCar Grand Prix’, a deeply moving, beautifully considered film that stays grounded while still feeling ambitious in scale and imagination.
IDIDTHAT Monthly Craft Awards
Find out who’s doing the best work in South Africa. Every month we team up with industry leaders to award South Africa’s best in Production Craft. Huge thanks to our recent guest judges who’ve taken the time to judge IDIDTHAT Craft Awards. Look how sexy they are in these black and white pictures we put up – FYI we used the ‘Inkwell’ filter.
Craft Award Results: January 2026
This month’s IDIDTHAT.co Craft Awards landed on the desks of two very good brains: Chief Creative Officer at VML South Africa, Fran Luckin, and Jono Hall, Director at Gentlemen Films. Congrats to Lourens van Rensburg of 7 Films and Paul Ward from Giant Films for taking home top spots. Properly earned. Loud applause gents.
Craft Award Results: December 2025
And Slim takes it! This month’s IDIDTHAT.co Craft Awards were judged by Juliet Honey, Creative Director at TBWA\ South Africa, and Zee Ntuli, Director at Darling Films. Thank you for lending us your smarts, you beauties. Big congrats to Slim from Darling Films for taking the top spot this month....and for getting us to order burgers.
Craft Award Results: 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.
