🎬 DON'T FORGET 5 – A Heartfelt Thank You ❤️
As we officially wrap production on DON'T FORGET 5, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to every single member of our incredible cast and crew.
From 31st July until we called the final wrap at exactly 4:00am on 3rd August, we shared an unforgettable journey together.
Without question, DON'T FORGET 5 has been the most challenging production I have ever undertaken.
From months of pre-production, casting, script development and rehearsals, to organising filming locations, accommodation, transportation of gear, food, refreshments, props, costumes, scheduling and countless behind-the-scenes logistics, every stage demanded an enormous amount of planning, problem-solving and teamwork. My goal throughout was not only to make a great film, but to create the best possible experience for everyone who believed in this project and chose to be part of it.
Despite the long hours, late nights, physical demands, unexpected challenges and constant pressure that naturally come with independent filmmaking, every one of you brought professionalism, patience, dedication and passion to the set. That commitment is something I will never forget.
I would like to personally thank:

Thank you for trusting my vision, believing in this story and giving your absolute best both in front of and behind the camera.
Whether your role was large or small, whether you were with us for one scene or throughout the production, every contribution mattered. Films are never created by one person alone, they are built through the combined effort, talent and generosity of an entire team. DON'T FORGET 5 exists because of all of you.
I am especially grateful for the encouragement, laughter, patience and positive spirit that remained present throughout the production. Those moments helped carry us through some very demanding filming days and reminded me why I love making films.
I also want to thank every family member, friend and supporter who encouraged us along the way. Your support never goes unnoticed.
Now, the cameras have stopped rolling, but the journey is far from over. Post-production begins, and I am genuinely excited to bring all of your outstanding performances together into a film that I hope will make every one of you proud.
Whatever success DON'T FORGET 5 goes on to achieve, know that you have all played an important part in making it possible.
Thank you once again for your hard work, your professionalism, your commitment and your belief in this project.
May God continue to bless each and every one of you and your families with good health, protection and success in everything you do.
With sincere gratitude,
David Motaze
