We hosted our very first movie premiere for our short film!!

Earlier this year, I worked on a short film titled "Paper Bag" Synopsis written by Tshedi: After a night he remembers as the perfect romantic conquest, a young man’s world begins to unravel when he is forced to face the truth: what he calls love was her trauma. Paperbag is a raw and haunting psychological drama about denial, guilt, and the quiet violence of male ignorance. It follows BK, a 21-year-old university student who wakes in the hazy glow of what he believes was a night of passion with his longtime crush, Zilwe. He feels victorious—until he learns that Zilwe has locked herself in her room, unreachable and withdrawn. What begins as his innocent concern slowly mutates into confusion and dread. The story unfolds in two fractured timelines: the present, where BK clings to his illusion, and the replay of that night, where the truth emerges piece by piece. What he recalls as mutual desire becomes a devastating portrait of coercion. Her soft pleas to “please, let’s go back” echo beneath the thumping music, drowned out by his whispered “I love you.” The film forces the audience to inhabit both realities—the comforting lie of the perpetrator and the unbearable silence of the victim. Framed by a powerful prison prologue, where a convicted rapist sneers that “you carry a million more like me,” Paperbag becomes a mirror held up to society’s quiet complicity. The climax comes in BK’s bathroom, where his reflection turns into a faceless figure with a paper bag over its head. His delusion finally shatters, leaving him consumed by guilt as Zilwe lies curled in her bed, trapped in the same act’s invisible aftermath. Told with restraint and emotional precision, Paperbag is a confrontation with the stories men tell themselves and the pain those stories erase. It is a film about masks—those we wear to protect ourselves, and those we must tear away to finally see. 🌟Huge shout-outs to: Kim, our cinematographer -   / comingupjarde   Tshedi, the writer and creator -   / tshedii_sefula   Una, the sound guy -   / hidden_hills_productions   My Instagram -   / lethabofilms   FINALLY, my biggest thanks and acknowledgements go to God❤️, I couldn't have done it without Him. #filmevent #students #trending #uni #university #vlog #creative #shortfilm #endgbv #film #movie #moviepremiere #premiere
