Background
Our story begins with Kwezi as a struggling actor who just can’t access his emotions. Enter smooth operator and agent to the stars, Raz Matazz, and his golden ticket - a
Rock My Soul™️ meal from Chicken Licken. Equipped with this spicy secret, Kwezi is able to deliver spectacular emotional performances ranging from anguish to anger with award-winning intensity and conviction.
Execution
We actually cast a South African actor who lives in Los Angeles, his name is Atandwa Kani (son of John Kani of Wakanda fame) – and managed to entice him back home to star in this project, he was hugely attracted to the role based on the many different film genres portrayed in the script, giving him the opportunity to really flex his acting ability from stage performances to action, to sci fi and a few other film genres thrown in for good measure, the casting was definitely inspired by the script!
