Listen up, aspiring filmmakers, because this is your time to shine.

The Bokeh South African International Fashion Film Festival has become one of the most creative and inspiring film festivals around.

The event, which has taken place in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg every year since 2014, provides a world-class platform for local and international filmmakers, fashion designers and speakers to showcase their talents.

This year is particularly intriguing because Fitch & Leedes, crafters of fine mixers, have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you.

They’re asking you to make a short film for the Bokeh Film Festival, using clever product placement and your quirky sense of humour, to tell the story of how Fitch & Leedes became the most inspirational mixer in the world.

Three finalists will be selected, each of whom will receive R25 000 for production, and the winning Fitch & Leedes fashion film will receive a whopping R75 000 in prize money.
