It is Schuster's love of and unwavering faith in the country that is highlighted in Gatvol.
Schuster feels that what makes his work so rewarding is that South Africans may really get upset when he pulls pranks on them, but they laugh with you and at themselves once the truth has been revealed to them.
Schuster and Esterhuizen turned to award winning cinematographer, Koos Roets, to shoot Gatvol.Gatvol is a great departure from the film and television dramas for which Roets is renowned, but he was more than up to the challenge of working on a slapstick comedy.
