Oli Amos, Henry le Roux and Vorster Van Zyl are three South African freelance content creators who I have known for several years and worked alongside on several projects. Among other things, we discussed their respective journeys into filmmaking, representing ourselves as creators on social media, making time for passion projects as freelancers and how AI might impact our industry.
