The National Freedom Network (NFN) is moving forward with plans to fund a short film highlighting the problem of human trafficking in South Africa. The project, which is based on an adaptation of a chapter in author Chris Hollington’s book titled Unthinkable, is presently in the pre-production stage with Sarah Kate as scriptwriter and Nikki Hockin as project manager, while Dan Akinlolu will work as director and producer. The project is executive produced by Annalize Eastes, Kirsten Hornby and Marina Reyneke.
The Rotary Club of Bedfordview has partnered with the NFN to co-fund the film project. An open casting call has commenced, interested actors and actresses should email two pictures along with their CV to dan@medianavigation.co.za.
Production is set to commence on the short film in the second quarter of 2016 with the view to screen to a global audience during Human Trafficking Awareness Week later in the year.
