Oratile Senokwane (EyeKyu) is a producer and editor, experienced and well versed in short films, public service announcement, music videos and short form documentaries. Oratile knows that when it's all set and done the Barcode Pictures catalog should speak for itself and also that any project that Barcode Pictures works on should unapologetically strive to push the envelope. He believes that art and passion should precede profits but not naively so, in that, when the dust has settled, Barcode Pictures is a business and profits are what keep a business running. He loves editing due to the fact that the rules of physics don't apply in the edit suite and that editing can change the course and direction of any film.
