S3 Ep12_Kagiso Latane on "Entabeni", "Omowale" and Acting

There are many aspects to Film and TV production and usually people specilalise in one particular discipline, either in front of the camera or behind it. Occasionally you come across one of those who doesn't "stick to the script" and does something of everything. One such is Kagiso Latane.

Director, Editor, Scriptwriter, Photographer, Voice Artist and Actor, Kagiso joined Gino, via a somewhat less than perfect internet Zoom call, to talk about his start in the industry and his constant drive to better his knowledge with frequent returns to places of learning. In 2014 he obtained an NQ5in Digital Filmmaking from the Big Fish School of Filmmaking. Kagiso also has a Degree in International Relations obtained from UNISA.

His list of acting roles is equally impressive, featuring in, among others, Neelan and Kevin, iNumber Number and Showmax’s most popular series ever The Wife.  His short film Entabeni recently won an award at the Durban International Film Festival. 

Kagiso is also a freelance Transmission Controller at Supersport and when he is not doing that he is busy running Canvus Productions, his film and television production company, offering full-service video production specializing in innovative afrocentric content.

Way to go!
