Therefore, when the global call for social distancing to slow down the spread of Covid-19 came and now through the lockdown period while production companies worldwide are seeking alternative means to distribute recently released and upcoming films \u2013 team<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moffie were ready to offer their audience the opportunity to watch the film in the comfort and safety of their homes. Due to public demand the film will now also be available to stream online in Namibia as from Tuesday, 28 April 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hermanus, Abraham suggested a back-up plan for the film\u2019s release and distribution well before the spread of the virus started to pick up speed in Southern Africa. \u201cI am very excited that we will be extending our streaming service of MOFFIE to include our Namibian audience. We are doing so as a response to the public interest. I journeyed through Namibia before making the film to experience the landscape as part of our research for MOFFIE and am so pleased that we get to share the finished film with Namibians of all walks of life\u201d says Hermanus. \u201cYou may be stuck indoors, so hopefully we can keep you entertained.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>here are a few things to take note of prior to your purchase of a ticket to stream the film online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tickets cost R150 per viewing, and are valid to use for 24 hours from the time of purchasing.
