Two business acquaintances, Nkopane Mojakisane and Brutal Saint are showcasing their taste in fashion in a video form through a film titled Mirrors of Life which was flighted for the first time on Tuesday this week.
It is a two minutes 55 seconds film shot at both Roma and Nyakosoba in Maseru district last Saturday and Sunday.
The short film features model Tankiso Hantsi and rapper HXPE.
Nkopane, who directed the film, said he and Brutal Saint wanted to prove to young people in Lesotho that there is no need for them to explain why they dress in the manner they do when it comes to fashion.
“We wanted to express our feelings through film, hence its production. We also wanted to test our shooting skills because on Saturday morning we were bored and sought something to pick us up.
“We had our gadgets in place and both Tankiso and HXPE were not busy, so we decided to drive to the two places to shoot,” Nkopane said.
He told theReporter that he and Brutal Saints are planning on doing a few episodes of the movies in the coming days.
He believes people are seeing the wisdom behind the film as a number of viewers are impressed by it.
“Some comments from the people who have watched it say that it evokes an emotion one cannot even describe while some say it enlightens the soul.
“When it comes to creativity, fashion in Lesotho is always being dismissed and we want Basotho to appreciate fashion more,” Nkopane said.
As of January 27, the film stood at 539 viewings on Brutal Saint on YouTube channel.
The film was directed by Brutal Saint and Nkopane Mojakisane, edited and VFX by Brutal Saint, Voice cover and soundtrack were done by HXPE.
