"A journey is experience. It is where the character is shaped. The journey is life itself" This coming from the press release of the Louis Vuitton Journey Awards where film students the world over were encouraged to submit a film.
This film will serve as an inspiration board for students of the most prestigious international film schools to portray their own version of a story. What I've always known is that our kids are very talented here in South Africa. We were just short-changed when it came to the delivery because we didn't have the know-how or the resources.
But let me just congratulate our young film-makers because of the 15 movies in the final selection 4 South African films have been chosen to compete.
The official Jury will notify the winners this month! They will then attend a special screening and celebration of their winning entries in January of 2010.
