The young filmmaker, photographer, Fine Artist Sukoluhle Ngidi was born and raised in Durban, South Africa in the small township of Clermont, KwaDabeka. Sukoluhle is currently completing his final year in The National Diploma in Video Technology (Film, television and video production) at the Durban University of Technology.

From there onwards Sukoluhle’s journey was different instead of Aspiring to join prospective career fields such as Law, Medicine and others he chose to journey to the Art of telling stories visually, he updated his love for story telling through fine art and photography.

During his matric year Sukoluhle had 6 options to apply to different varsity courses but he decided to only apply for the National Diploma in Video Technology and leave the other 5, unfortunately his application was not successful after failing to impress the interview panel of the Video tech department, this led to Sukoluhle taking a gap year. The gap year was a turning point in Sukoluhle’s life as he had more time to think of whether the chosen career field was appropriate for him or not, later in the year Sukoluhle re-applied to the Course but this time with more determination and belief after having spent a lot of time researching and following people in the industry. This time he was able to convince the interview panel that he was a perfect fit for the course and was accepted that is where his journey as a filmmaker .
