I have a dream

In the final lecture Steve Molk talked to us about his blog and how he ended up in Journalism. But coming to the end of the Semester made me all existential and I thought about what I would like to do in my journalism career. What would I do if I could do anything. And I am by no means sure of it, but there is one company that I have been in love with for a few years now that do exactly what I would love to do.

And they are The African Attachment. 

They are an independent production company in South Africa that do short films and documentaries and music videos. I found out about them when I was watching a short documentary on one of my favourite bands, Ashtray Electric, and discovered that they made the film. They then proceeded in making music videos for four of my other favourite bands (yes, four!):

 And they also worked on the movie Golden Globe winning District 9.  Now they are working on a documentary on Ryan Sandes, the Ultra-Marathon runner.

And they do the most amazing documentaries:

They are exactly what I want to do. I want to do documentaries on people, people that interest me. I want to work with musicians on their music videos (it sounds too good to be true). I want to affect people with the work I do, make people think, make people change. I want to make a difference.

So I only have one more thing to say and that is:

African Attachment- Please hire me?
