Based on the novel by Jeanne Goosen, n Pawpaw vir my Darling has been adapted for the big screen by filmmaker Koos Roets. The film will be screened for the first time on the 26th August 2015 at the kykNET Silwerskerm Festival in Camps Bay.

The movie is set in 2003 and follows the ups and downs of the Beeslaer-family from 24 Frik Du Preez Street in Damnville, as seen through the eyes of the pavement special dog, Tsjaka (voiced by Tobie Cronje) who is also the main character and narrator. The film features Sandra Prinsloo, Marcel van Heerden, Andr Stolz, Deirdr Wolhuter, Deon Lotz, Br milda van Rensburg, Willie Esterhuizen, Lida Botha and Marga van Rooy among others.

The theme song, n Pawpaw vir my Darling, is written by Anton Goosen and will be released at the beginning of October 2015. Goosen says, When I read the script, I knew that the song needed to be like Boy van die Suburbs about the zef side of things, but with a hint of pathos and compassion, and from the view point of the dog, but without the barking effects on the soundtrack. Koos wanted the song to have a slight blues-feel . In fact, I approached the song in very much the same way I had with many of my previous works and gave it my own earthy sound and made it even more mundane than before. The theme song was stripped down to the bone, even after it was recorded.

For the opening scenes, Koos selected the original demo that I had sent to him. I worked with Peter Pearlson, a top sound engineer, who did the editing and mixing. Now Koos Roets and Andrew Scholtz only need to give me 11 more theme songs to write and I ll have enough songs to release a new album
