    Duiwelsdorp (2015): a Sangoma's story of South Africa
    (2015) Espost, Carla Inez; Botha, Martin P
    "I live my life with stories that came before me. I tell stories because of stories that were told before. I wrote a story, a screenplay, called Duiwelsdorp 'Devil Town' because of stories that were told before me, to me and now a story lives within me. I am a storyteller because I am a woman, born from woman, alive through story. I am a woman because I give birth - to story, who actually first gave birth to me…It is in this sense that I then take up my place next to this "new generation of post-apartheid South African filmmakers" (storytellers/historians) and assume the duty of reminding my society "of its near and distant origins, of the experiences that shaped it, of its cultural wellsprings" (Confino, 1997: 1187). I took it upon myself to tell another real story of South Africa, the story of Johannesburg, the story of Duiwelsdorp (2015)… By choosing to tell the story of Jack McKeone and other white outlaw heroes, Duiwelsdorp (2015) challenges the popular notion of criminality and delinquency in South Africa.

    (2016) Hunter, Catherine Jane; Smit, Alexia
    Into the life of cowardly Poppy comes a scary 6 foot tall talking rabbit whose job it is to give bullies a taste of their own medicine. But Poppy is a good girl, it's Jessica who's mean, who makes Poppy's life miserable, who gave Poppy the stupid rabbit as a 10th birthday present in the first place! But then he was just a soft-toy; not this monster in her closet. Did St. Bunnycrisp get sent to the wrong girl? On the way to finding the answers to these questions Poppy and St. Bunnycrisp become best friends and go on adventures in a parallel fantasy realm. That is until St. Bunnycrisp's fate is threatened by the cruel Icemaiden, and Poppy will have to find the courage to save her friends' lives on her own.
