Ntombi grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe. Her love for the entertainment industry began through writing plays all before she was 10 years old. As a shy child, she fell in love with performing in school plays and the stage was where she felt like she was at home. At 18 she performed in an adaption of “Cats” as Jemima and that solidified her decision to pursue a career in the industry. She started writing movie ideas years before and decided to explore her passion more by doing an internship at a media house as an editor. She then moved to South Africa to study at AFDA Cape Town and after being exposed to multiple disciplines in her first year, she felt like film directing was her calling which she has been doing ever since.
I made this film after the tragic loss of my friend who sadly passed away in an armed robbery in his own home. I wanted to bring awareness to these lost voices and the effects of what it does to the one's left behind. A lot of people suffer from PTSD, knowingly or unknowingly and this film's purpose is to release the stigma of thinking you are crazy because of the trauma, as well as to bring a conversation around it to begin the process of acceptance and healing.
