My name is Masamkele David Mzomba. I grew up in Willowvale in the Eastern Cape. I completed my schooling in 2011 at Badi Senior Secondary School. Thereafter, I got a bursary to go and study at the University of the Witwatersrand where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2015.
After graduation, I took a job as a transcriber and assistant for documentaries and reality TV makers. Over time, they trusted me with more and more responsibilities which included camera operating, segment writing, editing and colour grading for shows such as The Scoop on SABC 3, Slope Slap on Netflix, Ink Therapy, Ring of Champions and many others.
My goal was always to be a film director and when an opportunity to make my first film presented itself, courtesy of AAA Entertainment, I did not waste it. My bosses offered to fund my first short film titled A Grave Confession. It was selected for a couple of festivals and picked up Best Short Film awards in a few of them. We later presented it to Showmax and they licensed it. It is currently available on their platform.
Early 2023, I founded The Liminal Film Company (Pty) Ltd where I provide video editing services, script-writing etc. I have been seeing steady growth and hopefully in the next few years, The Liminal Film Company will be up there with some of the biggest production houses in the country.
