THE DEFINING MOMENT was produced and directed by Nicho Barnard. A young aspiring director and producer of Nightlight Productions. The writer, Angela de Sousa, made sure that audiences will rethink their lives and urges them to make pivotal decisions. After a scandal forces Hollywood Actor, Matthew Cole (played by the very talented Rikus Strauss), back to his hometown in South Africa, he is confronted by everything he left behind. Katy (the wonderfully talented Liesl Ahlers) walked out on Matthew 10 years ago after he decided to go to LA to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. The defining moment happens when he again leaves Katy behind and finds out in the US that a friend died. It had a transformative effect on his perception of life and he returns to South Africa to tell Katy how much he loves her and that he cannot live his life without her. This short film makes the audience face adversity, build resilience and find joy ... The most powerful thing you can do in life is to mak a decision!
