Dube’s legal background equipped him with skills and perspectives that proved beneficial in his filmmaking endeavour. While the two fields may seem distinct, he highlights notable parallels.
“Firstly, the rigorous analytical thinking and attention to detail ingrained in my legal training have seamlessly translated into the realm of filmmaking. The ability to dissect complex issues and identify underlying themes has become a valuable asset in shaping the stories I wish to tell on screen,” elaborates Dube.
Moreover, the strong communication skills that he honed through his career in advocacy aided him in presenting the film concepts and vision to potential investors, distributors and audiences. He adds,
“As a lawyer, understanding copyright laws, licensing agreements and intellectual property rights has been invaluable in safeguarding my creative work and ensuring that my films reach audiences through proper channels. Thus, the skills of advocacy has helped me in more than one way with my new experience of filmmaking.”
