Tanit Phoenix

Phoenix talks about what made her interested in starring in the movie Spud:

Spud follows the diary of a young boy in an all-boys boarding school, and I went to an all-girls school. Similarly both the character Spud and I had some interesting things happen while growing up. Funny enough the story of Spud originates in Natal, where I grew up, just being back home in the Drakensberg with my family and old school friends was so magical and it brought back some fun memories.
