Early Life
Ntando Ndlovu was born on 22 February 1999 in Soweto, a township in Johannesburg, Gauteng. He has gradually grown his profession in the entertainment industry. In his words, his love for film is impenetrable and it is evident in his works.
Career
As an entrepreneur, he is the owner of the clothing brand “LOVO brand” and the online shop. The brand has collaborated with the popular artist Costa Titch on promotional posts.
Lately, he was on the Alberton record and Massiv Metro for my filmmaking. His career as a filmmaker dates back to the making of his brand’s short film.
The film was titled The Mulholland Club, and Lerato Ntombela was the co-director. It took home Best Editing at the Madras Film festival.
Ntando Ndlovu tries to showcase the latest clothing items of his brand through his short films. According to him, “the films are a different approach to fashion.”
Through his film, a message of hope is passed to the people in the society. It conveys a deep message behind the clothing” a light at the end of a tunnel”.
Also, he is a good writer and makes movies and films that are both educative and entertaining. His films leave memories you’ll hardly forget.
He puts efforts to inspire people with his “dark style”, the reason he says” only once you acknowledge the ugly, only then, can you work on seeing the light.”
In an interview session, he said;
“I started writing screenplays and that’s when I wrote Voided. It shines spotlight on people struggling with mental health because people usually overlook them. I recently read a study that a lot of people who struggle with these issues are talented. So I wanted to show the beautiful side of people with mental health issues.”
