You have to take ownership of your writing and the stories you write and get it to the marketplace, where producers and publishers will be able to turn your words into action. Since winning an Oscar for Best Foreign Film with Tsotsi, and international blockbusters like Invictus and District 9 focusing the spotlight on South African stories, the production of local films and international co-productions have increased drastically during this period of transformation and rebirth.
