Development

SMS Sugar Man was shot in eleven days with eight camera phones for less than 1 million rand ($164,100). Producer Michelle Wheatley said, "We wanted to make a radically low-budget film to show that anyone can do this".[2]

Analysis

Lizelle Bisschoff and Ann Overbergh wrote in "Digital as the New Popular in African Cinema? Case Studies from the Continent", published in Research in African Literatures, that SMS Sugar Man is a "semi-pornographic and highly erotic and subversive film, with a political subtext".[5] They said that even though popular and easily accessible equipment was used to make the film, it cannot be called "popular art", but rather "underground" and "experimental".[5]

Reception

In a review of SMS Sugar Man in Under Ground Film Journal, Mike Everleth described the film as "a poetic, haunting film that uses a bold new technology to capture the most basic and primal of human interactions".[1] He said that despite being shot entirely with camera phones, the film "never comes across as being gimmicky", and "never takes the cheap route in the telling of the story".[1]
