EP 129 - King Shaft The Almost Perfect Podcast

King Shaft is a director, producer, and writer. He co-directed "1960" which opened this year's Durban International Film Festival and won the award for Best South African Feature Film at the fest. We chatted the morning after the opening where the elated director shared his joy over the achievement, especially since project faced a number of issues and was mostly fuelled over the finish line by passion. Shaft shares how budget limitations actually allowed them to focus more on the human stories they told rather than getting distracted by big action scenes. We also learn from Shaft's experiences directing Skeem Saam and Uzalo, and we reflect on an impressive career that spans nearly 2 decades. Enjoy.
