WATCH: Thrilling action-packed Rogue Taze to hit screens soon
JOBURG – Action film follows African assassin, Rogue Taze, as he breaks down nuclear weapon manufacturing syndicate in South Africa.
International multi award winning film Production Company, MiclnGrace Studios, is soon to release yet another great action film, Rogue Taze. The action feature follows their great short action film Project X Marks the Spot which was filmed in Los Angeles last year, racking up five international awards including Hollywood New Directors Honorable Mention Award and the Women in Filmmaking Award.
Rogue Taze is directed by Michael Norman and is based on an African assassin, Rogue Taze, who is asked by the African Counter Intelligence to assist in breaking down the syndicate which manufactures nuclear weapons in South Africa.
Through various presentation and university talks, Norman said he was gradually set on changing the local industry’s view on what an African action film should be. The film was shot in Soweto with a mixed crew and cast of locals and internationals. The passionate creatives and individuals assisted in capturing the director’s vision with great enthusiasm. However, the greatest key component that this film project has brought forward, was the successful and ongoing skills transfer to aspiring youth and upcoming filmmakers.
Part of the skills transfer is the several masterclasses with Alexander Rodriguez-Hernandez (USA) which was held at the MiclnGrace Studios with students who are aspiring to become film editors. These students came from City Varsity, Big Fish and University of Johannesburg.
One of the students, Chresia Mativah said that they wanted more of the classes as they were very informative. The company is planning on doing more of these classes with other schools as well as expand their classes to different departments within the film sector.
