Copywriter Carina Coetzee and art director Amri Botha of 99c, winners of Cinemark's Young Lions competition, set to fly out to Cannes to represent the country in a week of creative inspiration.

Coetzee and Botha once again teamed up for the Cinemark Young Lions '48-hour challenge', which is just that - 48 hours in total from brief to concept shooting, editing and the final production of a 60-second commercial.
