Behind-the-scenes: “Samson had no muscles”

Zikedish’s Dawie le Hanie, known for his perfectionism and meticulous attention to detail, has been chosen as one of the main editors for the upcoming film ‘Samson had no muscles,’ directed and written by the multi-talented Jacques Gombault. Jacques, in addition to directing and writing, will also portray the cyborg character, promising a unique and captivating performance. This is Jacques’ second full length feature film.

The Stellar Cast

Joining Jacques are seasoned actors like Paul Buckby (Otto’s dad) and the talented Inge Pohl-Culbert (Miss Smith), alongside exciting newcomers Pero Britz (Otto – lead role) and Jarrod Haines (antagonist). Each brings their own flair to this adventurous children’s film with a powerful Biblical message.
