Winner of the Cape Town 48 Hour Film Project 2013, Five Minutes Till Noon, will
represent the city in the USA at the Annual Filmpalooza this year. The top 10
films will screen at Cannes Film Festival Short Corner.
Produced by Epilogue Pictures and TH Films the movie took home 10 awards
including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director (John de Vries) and Best
Producer (Kyle St John Peters and ..).
Almost 40 team members worked on the production, which was shot in Dunoon
Township.
Says St John Peters: “As one of the two producers of the film, I am so proud of
what we created. We had an amazing cast and crew who worked unbelievably
hard and didn’t complain once. It was certainly a challenge, and after 22 hours
of shooting I had nothing much left to give and I know the crew extended
themselves far beyond what they thought possible.
“At the end of the day though it was all absolutely worth it and it paid off
handsomely. I’ve already had the honour, together with director John de Vries,
of representing Cape Town in the USA this year for our last short film Scapegoat,
and now I’m looking forward to representing there again with this film.’
