Blogging the production of a film as it happens is a fantastic way to engage with your fan-base and attempt to build some pre-release buzz. In fact, it’s surprising that Hollywood hasn’t picked up on, what could potentially be, a cheap and incredibly effective tool to help stimulate some conversation (of course, if anyone knows of any other productions being blogged about let us know).

The award-winning novel, Triomf, written by Marlene Van Niekerk is being translated into film, directed by Michael Raeburn. Apparently still in pre-production, progress is being monitored in the Triomf blog (click here). This is definitely worth a read if you are a fan of the book or are simply interested in following the creation of a movie.
