After making a name for himself in the US, Motswana author and film-maker Sebati Mafate is on a mission to promote Botswana actors on the international scene.

He told Showbiz that he plans to shoot an action adventure martial arts feature titled Blood Brothers with a condition that it must give upcoming Botswana actors active roles. "The movie starts in Maun and ends in Los Angeles.

We are at the advanced stages of roping in a couple of big names, who I can't mention right now until the deal is signed.  It is in this movie that I have made it a condition that up and coming Batswana actors like one Advent Monyatsiwa, Donald Molosi and others be given speaking roles, and a chance to shine on the big screen," he said.  Before the martial arts project, he said he will shoot his third film entitled Ironic.  The film is a psychological thriller about a woman who kills her boyfriend thinking he was a crazed stalker.
