The COVID-19 lockdown has had a significant impact on many industries, including the film and television industry. This has forced people in the industry to think of alternative methods to keep the industry going while ensuring the safety of everyone involved.
"Vertrou Niemand" (Trust No One) is a film about actors being murdered while filming. Then the lockdown hits and everyone is trapped in their homes. The help of retired detective Captain van Niekerk is enlisted when more actors are murdered during the lockdown, one by one.
While there have been similar projects that have been released during this time, "Vertrou Niemand" is the first Afrikaans lockdown film. The film, which is still in the editing stage, is intended to be a full-length film.
"We owed it to the public to come up with something unique and to ensure that films and TV do not come to a standstill," said Pierre van Niekerk, the writer, producer, and actor of the film.
"Vertrou Niemand" deals with the challenges that the film and television industry has faced during the COVID-19 lockdown and the creative solutions that have been developed in response. It also explores the theme of trust and betrayal in the entertainment industry.
We look forward to the release of "Vertrou Niemand" and the unique perspective it brings to the film and television industry during these challenging times.
