bio
I am Mahlo Tebogo, well known as Trejo Tebogo. I’m a
screenwriter, specializing in comedy,drama, thriller and
romance.
When I was a little boy, I used to play toys with my
friends, at least more than five of them. We didn’t have any
money to buy real toys, so we’d play with bricks pretending
to be a car, and draw houses on the ground.
Everyday we’d play an act, I’d lead the play telling my
friends what to do, and how to do it. Think of a Telenovela
playing in the streets.
Back in the days, I never saw it as a passion for something
or a gift, it was just us as kids trying to buy some time so
it’d be dawn soon.
Fast forward in the year 2016 I came to realize that maybe I
am a good storyteller, each time I talk people would get
fascinated, sometimes they laugh. The passion of
storytelling began to emerge in my heart and each day I’d
picture myself on set shooting a drama I wrote.
2018 I started writing scripts, I didn’t know the format,
anything about writing a spec script. That was until I sent
one of the dialogue editors of Blood And Water a summary
that I wrote. It looked like a high school essay,
surprisingly she liked it and gave me some few tips on how
to tackle a script. Since then I’ve always seen myself as a
screenwriter and I started writing spec scripts.
