SOUTH AFRICA MEETS HAITI

On Day 3 of the American Film Market (AFM), the Consul General of South Africa welcomed the South African Indies group of filmmakers to his home for dinner. As the facilitator for the group, this was a great opportunity for me to bring together Haitian filmmakers and their South African counterparts. The evening was filled with laughs, great food, drinks and importantly, networking!
