Mannequin Films have just finished filming the short film, The Drum. Tshiamo, one of our Helen O' Grady Drama Academy Students who is also a member of our casting agency, Aardvark Casting, was cast as,Norma, the lead role!!!
Norma is a lonely and neglected little girl. She has a quiet but tough demeanour, and the street smarts that have helped her survive without any friends or family. Yet she is an innocent child, and subconsciously longs for a way to express herself, and a friend who will validate her existence.
The Production Manager said that Tshiamo was fantastic both on and off set!
Tshiamo got to play alongside another one of our Aardvarkers, Lucky Nombula.
Lucky played the other main character in the story,Thabo, who is a friendly drifter and travelling musician,
telling stories through the rhythmic beats of his goatskin drum. During our
story, he forms a special friendship with a lonely girl, in whom he discovers a
kindred spirit.
It is such a wonderful story written by Kecia Romiel and we look forward to seeing the final edit!
