Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Another milestone for Ayeye Entertainment!<\/b><\/p>\n

Just like the title of the feature film, A Dream \u2013 \u201cLiphupho\u201d, it is indeed a dream come true for the entertainment stable to finally produce a feature film. Ayeye Entertainment has produced at least four short films before.<\/p>\n

Ayeye Entertainment, in association with Luda Films Production, Bigtime Beats, Lenscope_ISP, and Silverstone\u2019s Pictures, released the feature film on Tuesday. The entertainment stable also gave special thanks to the Alliance Franc\u0327aise de Mbabane for their great collaboration and support of the film.<\/p>\n

A Dream \u2013 \u201cLiphupho\u201d is a story that follows a doubtful boy\u2019s dream of becoming a professional actor while facing the difficult reality of his life. Despite being confined under dire conditions, he remains hopeful and perseverant.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment, Ayeye Entertainment Director and Producer Siphosethu Sibandze shared with this publication that the film was shot around Mantjolo in Mbabane and also at Hilltop in Mahwalala, Mbabane. He said: \u201cThe duration of the film is one hour, which makes it a feature film. We had a wide cast of about 18 actors, and although I cannot recall all their names at the moment, I will touch on a few, which are in the poster: namely; Akahle Ntjalintjili, Gift Shongwe, Nqobile, Mavuso, and myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIn April and May 2023, we hosted an acting master class, which made our work easy; we didn\u2019t have auditions, and after, we used actors who were in the master class. We had 15 participants, and half of the class is part of this film. And we hope the rest will also get opportunities in other projects that will be soon produced by us,\u201d said the director.<\/p>\n

According to Sibandze, they had a small crew because of transportation and some other changes. The film is written and directed by Sibandze and Sibusile Dlamini is the assistant director. The cinematographer is Luyanda Motsa, while Sanele Mazibuko is the second camera operator. The sound is Bahle Shongwe and the gaffer is Clifford Dludlu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have produced a couple of short films before. In 2022, \u2018Lifa Lami\u2019 was the first short film that drew a lot of interest from a lot of emaSwati who love films. We also produced \u2018New Problem in Town\u2019 with Luyanda Motsa, \u2018Dear Jesus\u2019, and \u2018Emuva\u2019. This is our first feature film, as we have been known for producing the best work in short films, and people have wanted more of our work,\u201d Sibandze concluded.<\/p>\n
