Regular visitors to our Facebook page would have already encountered film-maker Christopher Nicholas’ work.  Chris flew in from the UK last October to run a groundbreaking video project for ASAP in the Eastern Cape, helping to uplift young lives both in front and behind the camera, and in the process produce a number of videos spotlighting ASAP’s work.

Chris made the video for our recent New York fundraiser.

He also recorded an number of recitals in the recent Itekeng – Mamohau Poetry Competition, including the winning poem ‘Dead be not proud’ by Nonceba, a teenager from Itekeng.

“I am taking a community development approach involving the communities themselves as much as possible in the scripting, shooting and editing of the videos,”  Says Chris.  “I will be training young people in video production skills, and I will be spending quality time with the home based carers, shadowing their work and getting a deeper appreciation of their work.”

But the best is still to come and we can’t wait to see the finished products coming from South Africa’s newest and probably most remote film studios.  Why not follow Chris’s fascinating blog ‘On the road with Chris’?
