United States filmmaker Rob Nilsson’s short film Frank Dead Souls debuted at the Mill Valley Film Festival in October 2008.
Made through a Design Indaba workshop in Cape Town, Nilsson improvised the script with non-actors. The film follows the staff of a magazine on a team-building bus trip. Poised to re-create itself as a more relevant interpreter of modern South African life, real life seems to get in the way as the motivational exercise unravels.
