What is your business called and what does it do? Diprente Films: We like to think of ourselves, perhaps a little ambitiously, as a ‘boutique’ film studio. We develop, finance and distribute feature films. In 2011, we will be releasing The Adventures of Bhamuza (a kung-fu movie set in Johannesburg), Blitz Patrollie (a buddy cop action movie starring Dave Kau and Joey Rasdien) and will start production on a mockumentary horror set in rural Kwa-Zulu Natal. We also dabble in television production and are the producers of the show ‘Late Night News with Loyiso Gola’ on ETV in South Africa. We are always developing and looking out for interesting, fresh and edgy film scripts and concepts.
