Following the successful auditions which took place a fortnight ago, the cast for the drama film has been hard at work rehearsing.
C n C Productions officials told Southern Eye Lifestyle that they were happy with their selection although all cast members were still undergoing assessment.
“We are happy with the cast to some extent, but we are still assessing everyone,” said an official that declined to be named.
“There are changes, or rather some reshuffling we might do as time goes on, but I would say so far we are content with everyone’s efforts.”
The initial shooting of the feature film was scheduled to start soon after the ongoing African Union Sports Council Region 5 Under-20 Youth Games, but was postponed due to the Christmas holidays.
“We have decided to postpone the shoot to early January, probably the first week, to avoid the festive commitments and pressures,” an official said.

This move will give cast members ample time to prepare and familiarise themselves with the feature characters.
Project co-ordinator Terrence Trent Mpofu said the film would be suitable for family viewing as it addresses relevant issues that affect society and families, although the main target audience is young adults.
“Our target audience is the whole family, young adults in particular, but the older generation will like it as many will relate to it,” Mpofu said.
“It will be enjoyable to many.”
Southern Eye Lifestyle caught up with one of the cast members, Best Ndlovu, a journalist by training, who expressed her joy and excitement of being part of this epic production.
“I am truly excited about this production,” she said.
“I love the storyline and the message it carries. This means the revival of my career, since I had taken a long break in the arts.”
She, however, expressed concerns about the state of the Zimbabwean film industry, which she said needed change for it to grow.
