Catching Feelings

Written and directed by Kagiso Lediga. Set in a chic and middle class Johannesburg, the South african Netflix movie is a tale of how life, love and art intersect in uncontrollable ways.

Catching Feelings follows a jaded academic and his journalist wife, who have their lives turned upside down when a celebrated and hedonistic older writer unexpectedly moves into their urban Johannesburg home with them.

Having been accepted into the LA Film Festival in 2017, something more contemporary was commissioned to represent the film (left image). The poster style is reminiscent to Max's (Kagiso Lediga) occupation as a Wits Univesity English leacturer and author. The look could be closely linked to the German woodcut technique which gained popularity in the later half of the 15th century.

The comercialy used poster art (right image) was later comissioned by the film company. With this request we looked to create something that captured the feel of the Johannesburg set dark comedy.
