Damyna the Musical, Trailer

Synopsis

Damyna is nearly sold to her father's moneylender but is bought and brought up by her mother's friend. To avoid problems with her son, Por Phiri, his mother makes him believe she is his real sister, but they love each other dearly. Trouble arrives when two attractive consultants, Kati Pault and Given Chansa, arrive at their farm to 'improve' their farming skills. Por falls in love with Kati; Given falls in love with Damyna, with the help of an itinerant witch doctor, who assumes Damyna and Por are blood brother and sister.

Later, they all meet in a fashionable coffee house in town. Before matters get out of hand, the witch doctor corrects his mistake but is nearly foiled by Damyna's adopted mother's husband, who also looks like the witch doctor, claiming to be the father of both Damyna and Por. Damyna's adoptive mother reveals her husband is not the father of her son, so Damyna and Por can now marry, while Damyna's high ranking and real father at the wedding also looks remarkably like the witch doctor.


This trailer needs some community translations.

Borderline DISCOP

I am attending DISCOP Johannesburg Film Market November 2-4 as a producer, to sell my film 'Damyna the Musical'. I have 17 meetings arranged and 24 non-responses so far, from 41 requests. I have mostly targeted individual TV stations, which are usually terrestrial here, English and French. Being a musical this means subtitles rather than dubbing. It is now a rush to get everything ready in time.

We will be doing the remaining photography for the poster this afternoon and hopefully it will be ready soon after. There is a real chance the trailer will be ready too. Both will be posted even though the trailer will be going for colour grading.  Interviews of the stars are complete and will form the backbone to a documentary on the making of Damyna the Musicial, probably TV hr, to go with the DVD version of the film and packaged with the film for direct sales to TV stations.

The script for Borderline, my next film, remains at its second iteration.
