Let me do a mini thread for the masses. It’s okay if you don’t understand how the entertainment industry works. Ask. Freelance work is exactly that, meaning you don’t have a full time job, it could be a year or two. Sometimes it’s a once off thing. Let’s break it down: Movies: they can shoot for 3months to a year even two based on budget and technicalities. If you’re lead, you can get paid good money. Some get paid per call, meaning you can do all your scenes over a few days. If your rate is 10k, you shoot 2 days, you make 20k

This morning my elder sister sent a message in the family group saying, “Morning fam, le kwele gore Chuene Rogers is late?” And that has led to this confession: 37yrs ago my siblings and I did something. We had an aunt who suffered from Narcolepsy. Obviously we didn’t know then what it was called, didn’t know that it was a disorder. We called her ‘Warra’(wa Papa). Warra talked a lot but would, mid convo, pass out. She’d pass out while eating, standing,etc. We thought it was funny

No need for DM’s, I can address the issue ya @Kabomo out here. This is not me trolling him but a movie was shot, there was no money to pay artists but people worked anyway. You know why? Here was a young, black creative in need of a break. A lot of actors believed in his dream... Hence you see a stellar cast. Even when it was rough, people chose to work so this thing can become a reality. Before we even get to not getting paid, we can start at the fees people were willing to work for. Saying the money was little is an understatement

One of these days we should talk about product placement and wanting actors to do advertising within the storyline without paying them. #SHOWMUSTGOON A few years ago an actor was fired from a soapie for refusing to talk about a bank in the show. The bank had paid for advertising to be incorporated in the story but actors were not getting paid to talk about the bank. #SHOWMUSTGOON

#SHOWMUSTGOON a thread... Remember how we all marveled at Katy Perry’s strength to perform moments after her then hubby asked for divorce. Well, let’s go through some of the things entertainers do to make sure that #SHOWMUSTGOON

There’s a lady, Gloria, on MetroFM saying you can’t be Christian and pay tithe, then have an insurance policy cos that’s being double-minded. It means you don’t have faith in God. I’m so angry that someone can come on such a big platform and preach such dangerous and utter rubbish in the name of the Lord
