Hartzenberg Films, proudly announces the upcoming short film "Mr. Isaacs," starring award-winning actor Ayden Croy (Tauriq) and SAFTA Award nominee Marlon Swarts (Junior) which seeks to sparks essential conversations about masculinity, relationships, and the consequences of our actions.

"Mr. Isaacs" delves into the complex world of Tauriq, a talented young soccer player struggling to find employment, leading to feelings of emasculation and dependency on his successful wife, Aisha. As Tauriq navigates his prolonged joblessness, he seeks solace in soccer and friendship. However, a shocking betrayal leads to devastating consequences, culminating in Aisha's untimely death.
