A local, independent film shot on the Cape Flats “The Heart Is A Muscle” has been officially selected as South Africa’s entry for the 98th Annual Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category. Two of the stars of the film, Loren Loubser & Keenan Arrison, joined us for a chat.

What makes this project so special is that it is the directorial debut of Imran Hamdulay who also wrote and co-produced it. It will have a run on local circuits in January and we’re holdings thumbs for that Oscar nod!
