Bakgat 2 coming soon

When asked about the success of Bakgat and the subsequent demand for a sequel, writer/director Henk Pretorius, said: "I mostly feel grateful. Although it took about 10 years to develop my craft as a writer and storyteller, I get up every morning wishing mechanical engineers or scientists would figure out a way to extend human life, so I can live longer and tell more stories. It's a huge privilege to explore your own head in public and although Bakgat! 2 is a genre-specific movie, it was crafted with as much heart as I could muster. I am especially grateful to our fans and I assure them that I have done everything in my power to exceed their expectations with the sequel.

The movie is strongly complemented by a dynamic score and powerful sound track that will once again feature the crème de la crème of local Afrikaans artists including: Die Heuwels Fantasties, Straatligkinders, Van Coke Kartel, Glaskas, Jax Panik, eF-eL and many others, whilst also adding a new slant for the sequel to include international artist Simon Schofield into the local music mix.
