Q&A:AdzeUgah-Director

Wheredidtheideaforthefilmoriginate?

The idea for the film originated about 2 years ago from a conversation with Celeste Ntuli aboutdoingamovielooselybasedonherlifeandherjourneytobecomingastand-upcomedian.TherawthoughtswerethenconstitutedintoanoutlinethateventuallywenttoChinakaIwunze,thewriter,whopoundeddraftafterdrafttillwefelt itwassittinginagoodenoughplacetoproceedtowardsbeingdevelopedasafull-lengthfeaturefilm.

Whatwereyourthoughtsonreadingthescriptandhowyouwouldinterpretit?

Myfirstthought,onreadingthescript,wasthatitneededtobereallyfunny.So,ifIwasn’tlaughingbythetime Iwentthroughascene, Iwould insist thatthescene ischangedtodeliverthe laughs.Evenonset, if,afterblockingasceneandrehearsingandthecastandcrewwerenotlaughing,wewouldnotshootthescenetillIhavereworkedthescenewiththeactorstocomeupwithgagsthatwillhaveuscrackingourribs.Ourphilosophywas,ifwe,thecastandcrew,don’tlaugh,howdoweexpecttheaudiencetolaugh?

Q&A:AnnerikavanderSpuy–WardrobeDesign

Whatwerethemainconsiderationsforyouregardingwardrobeandfashioninthefilm?

Mymain consideration regarding wardrobe in any film is that the wardrobe should support andenhancecharacterisationofthecharactersinthestory.Also,wardrobeshouldhelptellthestory.Inthisfilmspecifically,itwasimportanttomethattheclothesshouldportraythemodernyoungSouthAfricansinourcountrytoday.

Whatkindoflookandfeelwereyouaimingtoachieve?

Seeing that wewere doing a romantic comedy, I tried to source awardrobe that had a fun andcolourfulfeel.It’sastoryaboutyoungmodernpeople,soIwantedthecostumestobefashionableandbeautiful.

Didyouuselocaldesigners?

Our leadactresshasherown localdesignerwhomakescostumes forherwhenshedoesheronewoman shows and has to do appearances. So, we borrowed some of Celeste’s personal clothes,whichweredesignedbyalocaldesigner.Wealsousedlocalcraftsmentomanufacturesomeofthecostumes,headgearandjewellery.

Tellusaboutdressingsomeofthemaincharactersinthefilm.

Well, thehighlight formewasdressing thevery talented, senioractors inour industry, likeLillianDubeandAllenBooi.Theyarebothsuchgraciouspeopleandtrueprofessionals.TheyportrayedthemotherandfatherofBuyi,whoisthemaincharacterinthefilm.Thecharacters,MrandMrsDube,arerespectableandolder.So,wewent forasober,moreconservative look. I lovedthedressMrsDubeworetoherdaughter’swedding.

Buyi, the lead character, playedbyCelesteNtuli, is a beautifulmodern girl.We startedheroff inmoreplainclothesandasthestoryandhercharacterdeveloped,weputherinmorebeautifulandsexierclothes.Inthelastscene,IthinkshelookedabsolutelystunningintheAnkaraone-piecesuit.

Lindi,Buyi’sbestfriend,playedbyPhindileGwala, isverybeautifulandsexy, inappropriatelyso, insomecases,likewhenshegoestochurchinaverysmallandtightgoldendress.Thatsupportedthestoryandcomedyofthescene.

Itwasmyfirsttimeworkingwithactors fromNigeriaand I reallyenjoyed it.Theyaregenerallysobeautifulandstylish.Theyarewellinformedwhenitcomestofashionandstyleandareveryawareof thequalityof clothes. I really appreciate that, but it did sometimesbecomechallenging seeingthatweworkwithlocalbudgets.

Whatdidyouenjoythemostaboutthisprocess?
