Episode 11 - Ryan Kruger (Part 1)

Ryan Kruger decided eleven years ago to make South Africa his home base and hasn't looked back since.  He is and actor and director most known for his unique directing style that has helped create some really memorable music videos for our local artists and has really taken control of his career by starting to direct his own experimental short films.  The most recent is Fried Barry which has been turned into a full length feature film due to be released in 2020.  In Part 1 we chat about his journey, and he shares some great pieces of advice for young filmmakers wanting to pursue a career in the film industry.  He is so passionate about the potential of our local industry but also realistic about the work we still need to put in to make ourselves known on an international scale.
