Now, now now, just now.

Every South African knows that each of this means something very different – remember this explanation?

If you’re a fan of South African film-making, you’ll also know the name Michael Matthews.

He is one of the country’s premier up-and-coming directors, and his short film, Apocalypse Now Now, was nominated in the 2018 SAFTA ‘Best Short’ category.

Here’s a quick overview on what the short film is all about:

Based off a beloved South African fantasy novel this impressive proof-of-concept from rising-star Michael Matthews depicts a snarky, monster-porn-dealing teen dragged headlong into a deep, dark Cape Town underbelly full of monsters and myth.

You had me at snarky and monster-porn, to be honest. If you haven’t gathered by now, there’s going to be some choice language below:

What a ride, man.

Matthews is also the director of the critically acclaimed Five Fingers for Marseilles, set to hit cinemas on April 6, and yesterday we aired his interview with 2oceansvibe Radio about the upcoming movie.

In case you’re antsy, and can’t be bothered to wait until April 6, we can extend a helping hand. Listen up Jozi readers…

We are you the chance to win FREE TICKETS, POPCORN AND A DRINK at an exclusive preview screening at Killarney Cine Centre, Killarney Mall – tomorrow night, WED 28 MARCH.
