Experiencing Interruptions?

Salt Fashion Film

SALT - A Will Venter Film

Salt explores the paradox of balance—essential in moderation, yet destructive in excess.

Director Statement

With fashion films like 'The Herder' and 'No Coming Back' as well as 'Judith Atelier - Spring' this was by far the most ambitious and creative project and film done to date. The core essence of what fashion should be coming from the African continent for a global market I feel we achieved our goal telling a more deeper and compelling narrative than meets the eye. SALT is open for interpretation but the core remains the same.

Once again this incredible designer - Ilkhe Du Toit showcased world class and innovative ways of using 'more common' material in a new and innovative way.
