SA film campaigns for crowdfunding --

An SA team of filmmakers have launched a crowdfunding campaign to launch a five-year production slate that will ultimately result in the creation of three feature films. Into Infinity is a science-fiction adventure short film about how, in order to believe in something much greater than yourself, you need to believe in yourself entirely.
Katherine Kit Makena is a girl troubled by the loss of her father at a young age. In her final year of university, she has perfected a procedure, together with a team of fellow students and without the knowledge of the authorities, that taps directly into the very core of what makes us human.
She has discovered a way to prove the existence of a soul and its journey. When a test subject refuses to go ahead with the experiment for personal reasons, it is Kit that puts herself and everything on the line in a race against time (and the university superiors) to prove to the world what she already knows; change our perception of the great unknown and face the final frontier. But will she return?
They are launching an Indiegogo campaign and are looking for media partnerships. This can come in the form of partnering on the campaign, thereby having your logo on the landing page as a partner.
Key cast and crew inclue:
Starring Thishiwe Ziqubu as Kit:
Thishiwe Ziqubu is an award winning South African actress, director and writer who recently
scooped the Best Actress Award at the South African Film and Television Awards for her role in
the feature film, Hard to Get.
Crew:
Brendan C. Campbell writer/director/producer/editor
Brendan C. Campbell is an award-winning editor and cinematographer with a background in writing and direction for theatre that has intentionally evolved into film. He has collaborated with M-Net, Ogilvy & Mather and local broadcast edits for HBO. He is the founder and owner of Hand Drawn House Motion Pictures.
Xolelwa Ollie Nhlabatsi producer
A Baobab Africa Best Short Film nominee, founder of Blackweather Productions, Xolelwa Ollie Nhlabatsi created a solid foundation for himself in the entertainment industry with music videos for artists like The Soil and work for clients such as the BBC, Channel O and NBCUniversal.
He garnered international success with short film, Lost in the World, which toured Europe in 2015 during its festival run to powerful reviews and numerous award nominations.
Ofenstse Mwase director of photography
A multiple award-winning graduate of AFDA, internationally award-winning and heralded cinematographer, Ofentse Mwase immediately sprung at the chance to work on Into Infinity, knowing the prospect of filming for science-fiction; his expertise in the usage of anamorphic lenses made him the obvious choice for the project, which was only cemented by his enthusiasm.
Dale Voges visual effects supervisor
A 3D animator and team lead at animation company Flying Circus, Dale Voges and Brendan C. Campbell previously collaborated on visuals for a Parlotones music video
Kagiso Lediga executive producer
Emmy Award Nominee, Kagiso Lediga is a South African stand-up comedian, actor, producer and director. He has written and directed noteworthy television comedies including the cult classic the Pure Monate Show, Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola, and the Bantu Hour. He has played starring roles in the films Bunny Chow, and Wonder Boy for President and is currently in post production on Catching Feelings, a feature written, directed and starring Lediga alongside Pearl Thusi.
Behind the making of the film:
The movie will be shot entirely on vintage anamorphic lenses to create a unique look exclusive to the film.
The final film will be a full 4K cinematic presentation.
The special visual effects and animation for the film have been developed over a period of several years by director Brendan C. Campbell.
The film will feature an original cinematic score composed entirely for the purpose of the movie.
Into Infinity will be mastered in a full 5.1 surround mix, to immerse the audience entirely in the universe weve crafted on screen.
There will be two versions of the film, a Festival Cut (Theatrical) and an Extended Cut that will be considerably longer.
