Philipo Ngonyani is a 25-year-old photography, poetry and travel enthusiast with a laser-sharp focus on becoming a film director.
“There is this young African generation that is hungry for good African content. My desire to feed them and satisfy their hunger is what fires me up,” says Ngonyani.
His favourite films are Farewell Ella Bella by Lwazi Mvusi, The Intern by Nancy Meyers and Bamako by Abderrahmane Sissako. When it comes to TV, Ngonyani’s favourite show is Friday Night Live.
After his tenure at the MultiChoice Talent Factory Acacemy, Ngonyani aims to use the skills gained to expand his film network and channel all his gains into growing the continent’s film industry. He also hopes to unearth a new narrative for Africa.
