Attorney Michael de Broglio on: South Africa, Law, Politics, Attorneys, Sport, Photography, Technology, Gadgets, Media, Crime, Road Accidents Fund,
Divorce, Maintenance, Personal Injury, Medical Negligence
We all have different things we are proud of, and one of the things I am proud of is that I have done a number of different things in my life. Apart from my firm I have been involved in the legal profession itself and I have been the chairperson of both the Johannesburg Attorneys Association as well as the Gauteng Law Council and have sat as a councillor on the Law Society of the Northern Provinces. I have been very involved in a variety of different things, including sports, etc, but one of the things I am the most proud of is the television documentary of mine that was flighted on the Tellytrack channel.
I did not have any filming experience, and I bought a video camera in Hong Kong while visiting my former trainer, David Ferraris, and I filmed an interview with him, footage of Hong Kong and spent two days in the Tellytrack studios together with the producer of theirs, putting together my footage, interview, etc with a script written and read by me as well. So, it is something I am very proud of, because I filmed it, I wrote it, I did every part of it and it was good enough to be flighted on television. I finally found the video cassette recently, digitised it and I have loaded it up to YouTube and you can see it here: https://youtu.be/UZfqyvCXtIw

WOW! That is certainly an accomplishment. Perhaps you should film another short film? Short films are not as easy to produce, you need to ensure your audience's attention for the entire duration and there isn't time to allow your plot to 'thicken'. None the less, I look forward to watching your film and any others you may soon publish.

A man of many talents indeed, and that is something to be extremely proud about. I have always wanted to do short stories, but I have never actually taken the time to sit and think about it. Not very enthusiastic sounding on my part, but I may just pursue a lot of things now.

This is a very good documentary even with no experience and as a first film being showed on television...very impressive...! I believe you should set goals for yourself and achieve these on your own time, and one day you can look back at them and be proud to know you gave it your very best.

It is something to be proud of. A lot of people don't get the opportunity to experience different things that they would like to do.

This is a great achievement! Pursuing a venture that you have no experience in and producing something that is deemed good enough to be broadcast on television is definitely something to be proud of.

I think it’s very good to keep yourself busy with different types of hobbies. People are too comfortable with the things they know, than to explore new horizons. We will appreciate the world and different cultures more when we just get out a bit. Well done on being a good example for others of we must enjoy our life.

Congratulations Michael, our very own "film maker" :-) Will definitely take a look at it. I know David as well through the racing industry, in fact, Storm's horse that was bought, Phif's lady, was one of his training horses.
