00:00I'm Pamela Romanowski, writer and director of a short film called Katiwe and the Leopard
00:05that we are shooting here in South Africa.
00:09The film is sponsored by Dove Chocolate and produced through Refinery29, two companies
00:15who share my belief that the empowerment of girls and women results in the betterment
00:19of a community.
00:20My most important mission as a director is to make a film that feels like the main character
00:26could have directed it.
00:27In this case, it's a 13-year-old girl from Shoei and so it should feel like it's her film.
00:31It feels like a film made by the people who are in it, but it was such an enjoyable experience
00:37and I really credit the girls for reminding me to always have fun.
00:40I really have Dove to think they've been a really wonderful and ideal creative partner
00:45in this adventure.
00:46Cut!
