About the film:
2020 was a year of extremes. Right before covid hit, the team at Jack Black Brewing Company launched a national competition, giving away a 900cc Triumph Scrambler. We hit the road and recorded the film 'freedom awaits' in order to promote the comp. Never before was the tagline so relevant in times of covid, a national lockdown and an alcohol ban.

About the Film:
This film contains some of the best footage I've filmed between March 2017 en March 2020, travelling between my home in Cape Town and Belgium. For your viewing pleasure, please be advised it is best to watch this with headphones.
I was planning on making it a bold showreel, with a catchy tune and slick edit tricks. Instead I felt that would be completely in contrast with how I've been feeling, and how I'd wish to tell a story. This 4 minute film is not just footage I collected, it's memories I never want to forget.
During the first weekend COVID hit South Africa with a 5 week lockdown, I was at home reading an article that stuck with me. It said: "From one citizen to another, I beg of you: Take a deep breath, ignore the deafening noise, and think deeply about what you want to put back into your life. This is our chance to define a new version of normal, a rare and truly sacred (yes, sacred) opportunity to get rid of the bullshit and to only bring back what works for us, what makes our lives richer, what makes our kids happier, what makes us truly proud. We get to Marie Kondo the shit out of it all."

It made me think, and gave me the inspiration to inspire my showreel on a poet by Kate Tempest "Hold your Own." It expresses exactly how we should see life as it is at this very moment. We're all in it together.
Those who were there to make these memories, thank you. You're part of who I am today. You know who you are.
Poem by Kate Tempest - Hold your own.

About the film:
Lockdown was hard in South Africa with a 5-week long ban of going outside. We weren´t allowed to do anything but go to the grocery store, pharmacy or hospital. This is where my creativity decided to share how I felt with a song and visuals to accomodate it.
