Where Do I Begin

Allow me to start with what we are talking about Black Cobra (the film), Sizwe Productions, Stephanie C. McNeil (Producer), and Sebati Edward Mafate (writer). All of these intersect at the point of perfection. I am sure that all of this came about in reverse order as listed.
We often speak about dong it for ourselves. This is an example of good writing meets moderate budget. Keep in mind that budget often dictates the quality of the director that you get as well as the skill of the actors you can attract. With those simple facts known I watched this film with the understanding that with some time this production company could rival anything currently produced by major market action mainstays. On some levels this film out shines some plot lines from early Jason Statham films (Mean Machine and In The Man of The King) to supply the needed example.
Give this film, production company, producer, writer and the fact that they were able to bring it all together a little of your attention and realize that "we" are already doing it for ourselves. Just like in the book world we do not have major marketing at our disposal we do have word of mouth and it pays dividends. Look at the success of Tyler Perry and his audience going from the stage to the big screen to the small screen and beyond. The goal is always to improve and while doing so share the wealth and the access.
In some cases ACCESS is worth more than financial wealth. We are often offered access at with a price tag and are required to give up the financial gain. When you can have a little of both while also getting the education that goes along with the access.
Although it is on youtube in 14 parts I do suggest that you consider red boxing, purchasing or viewing via netflix - by utilizing these viewing options it counts towards another film by these folks being green lit by investors and distributors
