Against All Odds: Young Filmmaker's Journey from Garage Productions to International Recognition

Loading player...

At just 19, filmmaker Rosina Masetla began her journey shadowing directors on SABC's "Zone 14," sleeping in garages while producing her first independent film "Stand Up." Despite numerous funding rejections and financial struggles, her unwavering faith and supportive parents kept her determined. Her breakthrough came in 2019 with professionally-funded short film "Musidi's Child," featuring Skeem Saam's Komu, which aired on SABC One and Showmax. Now specializing in documentaries, Rosina is pioneering projects about female Pantsula dancers—shining light on overlooked cultural talents. Anchored by Jeremiah 29:11, her story exemplifies how passion, prayer, and perseverance can transform dreams into internationally-recognized reality.
