Fowl Play | Best Film Winner | 48 Hour Film Project | Johannesburg | 2023

An award-winning short film shot on iPhone 14 Pro.

As an actuary, 3 data scientists and a sound engineer we aren't film-makers by trade but each of us feel a calling for creative work. Our intention for the project was just to have fun and explore story-telling through film. We hope by sharing this we can inspire others to realise that you too can make a cool film with simple equipment and a clear vision.

Our film, "Fowl Play," managed to sweep 7 awards from 13 nominations at the Johannesburg 48 Hour Film Project awards ceremony, including the title of Best Film for 2023!

The full list of awards are:
🏆 Best Film
🏆 Best Original Score
🏆 Best Writing
🏆 Best Mobile Production
🏆 Audience Choice Award - Group B

The film will be shown at Filmapalooza 2024 in Lisbon to represent our country, South Africa, and compete against the best films from the 48-hour project worldwide.
