Two film-makers from Sydney’s Blacktown have won the DigiSPAA feature film competition winner for 2012, a competition that highlights independent, digital film-makers.
Daniel Okoduwa wrote and produced the film Kemi, which cost $11,000 to producer while Michael Kang directed it.
Okoduwa told Encore: “Kemi is a reaction to the lives of the West African community in Sydney. There is so much drama in Western Sydney. I have made films before, but for this I wanted to take it to the next level. I wanted a multicultural film – Kemi is about the gossiping, the good and the bad and race relations of African people coming to Western Sydney.”
The film-makers have won $15,000 cash, $20,000 worth of post-production, with the film screening on the Movie Extra channel and a return trip to Los Angeles’ American Film Market in 2013.
Okoduwa told Encore: “I’m very excited. Our film is getting into Australian society, and out of the suburbs.
