On a Thumb and a Prayer
Hitch Hiking is the journey people are the story
Advertising and Sponsor Proposal
Introduction
There was time when a dirty dreadlocked wanderer could hit the highway with his thumb in the air and best leg forward and easily hitch a free ride from a lovely couple in their air-conditioned sedan These days the mere thought of standing by the roadside at the mercy of strangers makes the stomach lurch With the World Cup looming its head and the increasing number of media stories proclaiming that the event will be riddled by crime and misconduct (wwwtruecrimexpocoza) we aim to investigate safety and social altruism by hitchhiking from Cape Town up the coast to Durban and ending in the City of Gold
Throughout this journey we will encounter a variety of characters from Rastas in the Transkei to the man that drove the Magic Bus back in the 70rsquos and wersquoll even drop by the Arts Festival en-route During this social climate of heightened patriotism and foreboding we are given an opportunity to try and capture the diverse face that is South Africa
tim
From an entertainment perspective we plan to stop en route at a variety of different locations and participate in activities that are part and parcel of the specific location We plan to watch the various soccer games with fans at local bars homes and community centers and so get a sense of the game and its importance It is amazing how honest people can be with a beer and good game of sport
It is therefore an additional aim of this project to explore the possibilities of budget travel during one of the most costly periods in our countryrsquos history In terms of accommodation we plan to make use of backpackers camping and often the kindness of strangers
We also intend to sneak our camera into one of the official fan parks to get a glimpse of the FIFA controlled festivities This allows us to gain a completely different perspective on the World Cup events and is a lovely tension building theme that we can plant from the first day
Travel and Entertainment
In short this documentary is a unique opportunity to investigate the South African social climate during an interesting period of our history It is our hope that through this adventure we will be able to capture both the excitement and concerns of everyday people in a honest and entertaining fashion
Hopefu l ly our observat ions and the interactions with our audience will lead to a clearer understanding of who we are as a whole
This documentary will be exhibited primarily online to a Digital Native audience however media outlets such as magazines newspapers gazettes and radio are all ingrained in our cross-platform distribution strategy

Presenters and Crew
This documentary wil l focus on two male protagonistswho attempt this journey with R500 and a few makeshift signs The presenters have had experience in front of cameras as actors and in documentaries
The previous documentary that was made by Beer and Jozua showed on MK Music channel as a 4 part series following the biggest rock show in South Africa around the country
Ideally we would use a skeleton crew of three additional members in a support car that would serve as a production vehicle It would be ideal in this scenario to make use of another camera so that footage can be taken from a different angles and perspectives and so add further suspense to our journey It also allows for preparations to be made at locations prior to the presenterrsquos arrival

Sorrel AdamsCameraBorn and educated in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands Sorrel was bitten by the film bug after doing her school work experience at a film company in Cape Town An experienced amateur photographer Sorrel spent a year traveling and working in the UK She now has an undergraduate degree in psychology anthropology and film and is currently doing her honours in film studies at the University of Cape Town
Anna SaccoSoundEditingAnna Sacco (MA) studied Philosophy Ancient History and Economic Policy in Germany and Mexico and is currently completing another MA in Media Theory amp Practice at UCTShe worked with several newspaper and radio stations both in Rome and Berlin and co-hosted a cultural Italian radio show in Germany Anna has travelled extensively through Middle and South America and calls several European countries home Due to her own migration background her writings often deal with cultural identity and boundaries
This is a documentary that has not yet been made in South Africa post 1994 Hitch Hiking is the hook to get audiences involved and excited and who knows even to join in Our attempt at finding interesting stories to somehow make sense of our society is something that South African artists have tried and failed with for decades
Taking inspiration from fellows like Obie Oberholzer and David Goldblatt we believe that there is a sincerity and enduring belief in this country and its people If we are able to bring that message across and have audiences enjoy the entertainment we present then we would have succeeded in our task as film-makers story tellers and academics
Technology is offering us another unique opportunity and as media agnostics we hope to make use of this media rich culture that allows communication with anybody at almost any time If we can utilize these tools correctly the exposure for our supporters investors and suppliers is great
We hope that you come on this trip with us

This is a documentary that has not yet been made in South Africa post 1994 Hitch Hiking is the hook to get audiences involved and excited and who knows even to join in Our attempt at finding interesting stories to somehow make sense of our society is something that South African artists have tried and failed with for decades
Taking inspiration from fellows like Obie Oberholzer and David Goldblatt we believe that there is a sincerity and enduring belief in this country and its people If we are able to bring that message across and have audiences enjoy the entertainment we present then we would have succeeded in our task as film-makers story tellers and academics
Technology is offering us another unique opportunity and as media agnostics we hope to make use of this media rich culture that allows communication with anybody at almost any time If we can utilize these tools correctly the exposure for our supporters investors and suppliers is great
We hope that you come on this trip with us
In Closing
In short this documentary is a unique opportunity to investigate the South African social climate during an interesting period of our history It is our hope that through this adventure we will be able to capture both the excitement and concerns of everyday people in a honest and entertaining fashion
Hopefu l ly our observat ions and the interactions with our audience will lead to a clearer understanding of who we are as a whole
This documentary will be exhibited primarily online to a Digital Native audience however media outlets such as magazines newspapers gazettes and radio are all ingrained in our cross-platform distribution strategy

Presenters and Crew
This documentary wil l focus on two male protagonistswho attempt this journey with R500 and a few makeshift signs The presenters have had experience in front of cameras as actors and in documentaries
The previous documentary that was made by Beer and Jozua showed on MK Music channel as a 4 part series following the biggest rock show in South Africa around the country
Ideally we would use a skeleton crew of three additional members in a support car that would serve as a production vehicle It would be ideal in this scenario to make use of another camera so that footage can be taken from a different angles and perspectives and so add further suspense to our journey It also allows for preparations to be made at locations prior to the presenterrsquos arrival

This is a documentary that has not yet been made in South Africa post 1994 Hitch Hiking is the hook to get audiences involved and excited and who knows even to join in Our attempt at finding interesting stories to somehow make sense of our society is something that South African artists have tried and failed with for decades
Taking inspiration from fellows like Obie Oberholzer and David Goldblatt we believe that there is a sincerity and enduring belief in this country and its people If we are able to bring that message across and have audiences enjoy the entertainment we present then we would have succeeded in our task as film-makers story tellers and academics
Technology is offering us another unique opportunity and as media agnostics we hope to make use of this media rich culture that allows communication with anybody at almost any time If we can utilize these tools correctly the exposure for our supporters investors and suppliers is great
We hope that you come on this trip with us

Presenters and Crew
This documentary wil l focus on two male protagonistswho attempt this journey with R500 and a few makeshift signs The presenters have had experience in front of cameras as actors and in documentaries
The previous documentary that was made by Beer and Jozua showed on MK Music channel as a 4 part series following the biggest rock show in South Africa around the country
Ideally we would use a skeleton crew of three additional members in a support car that would serve as a production vehicle It would be ideal in this scenario to make use of another camera so that footage can be taken from a different angles and perspectives and so add further suspense to our journey It also allows for preparations to be made at locations prior to the presenterrsquos arrival
