The doctor prescribed a tablet. And Hloni was the best medicine.
Dr Musa Mthombeni is a highly entertaining guy. He’s also extremely smart. So no wonder one of the things he can’t live without is his Lenovo P11 Tablet. And no wonder that for Lenovo’s two minute social media video – #SmarterTalks with Dr Musa Mthombeni – agency Happy Friday Creative made the smarter choice of Spitfire’s newest Director, Hloni Ntsooa.
Documenting Dr Musa’s ambitions of becoming a full-time aspiring house husband takes energy, a keen eye and a head for humour that’s just as sharp as the doctor’s. Which Hloni has in abundance. Shooting at a pace as rapid-fire as the doctor’s pronouncements, Hloni’s work makes for a super engaging piece of communication that puts the Lenovo P11 Tablet front and centre of the doctor’s hilarious aspirations of house husbandry.
If you want your idea placed front and centre in the most captivating way possible, call us today for a smarter talk. And find out why Hloni could well be the smarter choice of Director for you too.

“Where there’s a screen, there’s an opportunity.” When Spitfire Films was established a decade ago by Executive Producer Liesl Karpinski and Director AK, this was a statement of intent designed to disrupt the existing production model. And Spitfire has been doing it successfully ever since. South Africa’s first 360º content production company, Spitfire has collaborated closely with the industry’s top advertising agencies and clients to create some of the country’s most effective – and engaging – content.
From TV and cinema commercials, and hugely successful interactive digital campaigns (KFC “Shakin”), to activations for Fox Crime, Insta stories for Mumm Champagne, and SA’s first interactive horror film with Facebook Live for DSTV, Spitfire has created outstanding work for every kind of content. And built a reputation for fast turnaround times, excellent value, and high creative standards. Standards embraced by our grassroots talent who are in the process of becoming Spitfire shareholders.
But it’s the work itself that speaks the loudest to Spitfire’s intent. And talent. Please take a look.
