Industry Loop – To expose or not to expose…part 2!

Last week’s edition of ‘Industry Loop’ in which I interrogated whether one should expose clients who owe you money for work done or not, seems to have inspired many to expose.

DJ KBoz recently exposed a client who had not settled their debt for work done.  However, this may be shocking for some, but for people like Yours Truly who have been around for more than a decade, this is not the first time clients have been exposed by creative professionals like DJ KBoz for not...

Industry Loop – Award season!

 For years, I tried to sensitise Namibians through my work on this column, that the creative arts is more than just music. Because that’s been the common perception for years.

Industry Loop – It’s Film Month MFs!!!

I am sure every single professional Namibian actor is sick and tired of getting questions like… “Where can we watch the movie?” “You say you are a professional actor, but we do not see your stuff on Netflix?” “Mara, where can I watch Namibian movies?” I think I speak for all involved in one way...
