I love the story line , how i wish people would stop reading too much into our friendships

[@margretmpofu1125]

Love this all the way from Zimbabwe

[@TP_Raks]

Would have loved to see more of Noma-Drizzles going crazy with that frizzy hair😂😂😂. Mara otherwise,It was a great watch. Thank you guys for the quality.

[@tebogopodile]

Oh my word! I absolutley loved the story line and the film, 100%. I absolutely love videography and I'm still learning and I'm quite inspired by your work. But it wouldn't be an honest review if I didn't mention the three issues that I just couldn't unsee throughtout the whole film. The lighting of the subjects wasn't ideal for me. Secondly, the sound wasn't quite clean and lastly, the focus was always on point , maybe less wide apeture would do, but I understand that shooting at night forces one to really open that aputure. A behind the scenes or a director's commentary video about this film would be much appreciated for people who want to know the technical parts of the making of the film, from the choice of lighting to choice of audio and camera equipment. Thanks!

[@luzukomihael9260]

This would make one hell of great series the premise is great. The writing also... This could be like "insecure" with like Kasi and Burbs shoots and with the right music score of local artist and cinematographer. Showing the night life of South Africa. But that's just mine opinion. Others might disagree?

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

Well we agree with you🙌🏾

As someone who is engaged to her one-time male best friend, I love this 😂❤️ I clicked on your channel after seeing a comment on a completely different channel, now I've been laughing and enjoying for 30+ minutes. This was such good fun! Even though it was a simple story, the actors really sold it. The camera work and colour grading were amazing too! Instant subscribe, and sending you best wishes from very far away ✨

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

Welcome to the family. Thank you for the great review🙏🏾 We appreciate it!

[@dl_20244]

It was well shot and the cinematography was on point. Some issues I noticed with the lighting and sound - I’m a UX Designer by profession. However, I’d also like to point out that the storyline was too predictable for me. I knew what the ending would be so I was a bit distracted throughout. There was some acting that was a bit exaggerated which made it seem a bit amateur from my side. Not sure if that’s the direction you were going for? Your company has delivered some great content over the years. I’d like to challenge you to tap into something more than comedy? Drama maybe or even romance but with a twist.
