Darling and Darling director Alexa Wilson and Post Modern editor and also a darling William Kalmer take Best in Craft this month for Bernini. On judging duty were Nwabisa Tolom, Creative Director at TBWA\Hunt Lascaris, and Lebogang Rasethaba, Director at Egg Films. Thank you, power duo.
Established as a director known for crafting intimate thought-provoking and always culturally relevant work, Lebogang Rasethaba has recently directed two inspiring pieces of storytelling for Apple TV+. The design docu-series Home, features some of the most remarkable houses across the world and the visionaries behind the designs. We spoke to Director and Partner at Egg Films and Co-Founder of Arcade, Lebogang, about the experience of directing two of the season’s episodes; one set in South Africa and the other in Ghana.
Following the whirlwind success of their previous music documentary, Future Sound of Mzansi, filmmakers Lebogang Rasethaba and Nthato Mokgata team up again to direct MUTANT, an intimate documentary portrait film featuring Isaac Mutant, a controversial and outspoken rapper from the Cape Flats. The film took 6 years to complete, which allows audiences to witness Isaac’s character evolve on screen, from being a militant and agitated aggressor to a man in pursuit of a greater peace.
Following the news that Egg Films’ director Sunu stepped down as partner to focus on long-form, we were thrilled to hear that director Zwelethu Radebe and director and Arcade co-owner Lebogang Rasethaba are joining the leadership team as new partners. The two will work together with Executive Producer Colin Howard as the company’s owners and main shareholders.
Chief Creative Officer at FCB Joburg, Ahmed Tilly, judges this month's SA Film Reel. His no-ego approach to the industry is almost as impressive as all his awards. A virtual standing ovation for Ahmed! 👏🏽 😘
