Interesting facts

Frank and Fearless is a 2018 South African buddy comedy adventure film written and directed by Gray Hofmeyr and co-written by Leon Schuster, who also stars in the movie. The film featured local actors, and used music performed by the Drakondale Girls' Choir. The song "Till You're Free Again" won first prize in the Great American Song Contest (2018) in the Special Category. The film centers on the poaching of rhinos.

Production

The African bush scenes were shot in Broederstroom, Hekpoort and beyond, much of it on Glen Afric with assistance from the Rhino Pride Foundation. The Department of Environmental Affairs, together with SAN Parks, came on board as the primary sponsor.

Director/film maker, Gray Hofmeyr, in an interview with AnimalTalk said, "We have all the comedy implicit in a road movie about four diverse and wacky individuals, whom we grow to love, on an impossible quest, trying and failing to overcome their differences and the obstacles and evils they encounter. Which is funny. And also very emotional, not just for the characters themselves, but also for the audience watching.
