• 23 November: Schuster is terug op die grootskerm
Hou vas aan jou sitplek want die grapjas, Leon Schuster, is terug met ’n splinternuwe goedvoel-komedie, met skreeusnaakse insidente en ’n inspirerende storielyn, wat kykers van begin tot einde vasgenael sal hou. In ware Schuster-tradisie volg Frank & Fearless die wenresep van pittige komedie en humoristiese sosiale kommentaar waarvoor Leon se vorige werk, soos There’s a Zulu on my Stoep en Mr Bones, bekendheid verwerf het. Saam met medeskrywer en regisseur, Gray Hofmeyr, voer hy dit verder deur ’n baie relevante en kontroversiële storielyn in te werk, met ’n diep emosionele impak, wat dit kop-en-skouers laat uitstaan bo enige van dié ikoniese filmmaker se vorige werk. Die film word plaaslik versprei en ook landswyd uitgereik.
