Tjuna prepares for first Namibian pan-African movie production
Mondjila Studios, in a recent press statement, has announced Namibian actress Tjuna Kauripura Daringo as one of the main cast members for the ‘Skeleton Coast Movie'.
The film is a collaboration between Nigerian and Namibian producers and directors.
Kauripura Daringo will act along with Thapelo Mokoena, Cindy Manhlangu, Ini Dima Okojie, Damilo Adegbite and Mawuli Gavor from South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, respectively.
“This team will not only contribute creatively to the production but will ensure a wider reach on the continent as well as globally, while allowing us to showcase the beauty of Namibian landscapes."
“The production will be in partnership with a media house called ‘Play Network’ that has done several successful movies on Netflix. Last year, the local producers collaborated with Play Network to host the Burna Boy Show, which was well attended and provided creatives with a great platform to showcase their skills,” read the press statement.
For the proposed movie, the producers look to employ over 25 local crew members (50% of the crew), most of whom will be young Namibians who are eager to learn and upskill their craft through the experienced international crew.
