Fanatastic Acting Opportunity!


X CON Films is a television and film production company based in Cape Town. They are the proud producers of SABC 1’s religious edutainment children's show, Siyakholwa ‘We Believe’.

This groundbreaking multi-faith show addresses core moral, educational and other pertinent topics. The first episode was aired on SABC 1 on Saturday, August 4th 2007 and has since been a resounding success, drawing new viewers each week.

This magazine-styled programme has a broad range of content topics which focus on curriculum objectives. This format presupposes different topics within each episode to deliver to the curriculum.
They cover topics such as being proudly South African, identity, the five main religions in South Africa and public holidays in South Africa.

The show is aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 12. They therefore require children between the ages of 6 and 12 to appear in studio with the presenter for each episode to learn about different topics and do educational activities in studio. They film two to three episodes per day and the filming will takes place in Gardens at the Media Hive Studios between the 12th and 23 rd of November 2012 and again from 03 December - 14th December 2012.

They have a mix of children for each episode (girls and boys from different backgrounds) and require 6 children per episode for roughly 3 to 4 hours per episode. They would like to now if anyone would be interested in participating in the show. They do not offer remuneration for an appearance on the show but you will receive a copy of the episode in which you appear.

The Schedule for the shoot is as follows:
