Episode Hamnet & The Fight To Save SA Film and TV
This week at The Video Store we got a special visit from producer and past guest Luke Rous to discuss why the South African film industry is in crisis, and what can be done to save it. But before that Cole and Graeme chat about Sam Mendes’ Beatles biopics, the passing of the great Catherine O’Hara, Steven Spielberg’s Grammy win and lots more.
