The Video Store

This week's guest is director Brent Dawes, who's feature animation "David" is currently in cinemas around the world. This story of David and Goliath, told like never before, is very largely a South African production. So this is certainly a landmark achievement for not only the South African film industry but certainly the animation industry here in SA. We got through how such a production is brought together, how such a film is able to be distributed around the world.After the chat, Russell and Graeme manage to have a little chat about the new Avatar.Video Store LinksOfficial SiteHave a film or TV show you have recently enjoyed and want to let us know about it?
