'Couples who work together stay together' — Hungani & Stephanie Ndlovu collaborate on short film

Hungani and his wife Stephanie Ndlovu have released the trailer for their short film LoveLocked. 

The film, which was shot during Covid-19, follows a couple's loving relationship in uncertain times as their mental health gets affected. 

In a recent episode of their YouTube channel, Stephanie spoke of how proud she was that they teamed up to shoot a short film they starred in and co-produced.

“It's technically our first project as co-producers with our production company The Ndlovu's Uncut Productions. It's not just us starring in it, it's not just recorded in our home, it's also something we were close to,” she said. 

Their LoveLocked project, directed by Carmen Sangion, forms part of a One (Nine) anthology where nine woman directors from across the globe make a collective experiment of what it means to find connection in a time of isolation.

Hungani and Stephanie get to spend ample time together as they collaborate on various projects.  

Recently, they have been working on individual projects. 

Stephanie joined, kykNET's Binnelanders as social media influencer Jazzy.  

Hungani recently joined SABC 1's Skeem Saam as Tbose. 

“Joining the show was a stressful and nerve-racking process for me just understanding that I am recasting. My mindset was on trying to create the version ... created for Tbose, which was becoming stressful. I had to create my own narrative and ideology of what this character is going to be like which settled my feelings,” Hungani said, reflecting on his journey on the show.
