Love By Chance is about two aspiring actors from South Africa (Altovise Lawrence and Atandwa Kani) who meet by chance in Atlanta, experiencing the everyday struggle of auditioning, dealing with daily rejection, self-doubt, financial hardship, crazy friends and a mad dating scene, putting the chance at love on the rock.
Producer Dumi Gumbi, who also produced Mrs Right Guy last year, as well as the acclaimed Dora’s Peace believes this will break ground in building stronger ties between South Africans and Americans.
“We need to work closer with US talent in order to gain a foothold back in the USA, so naturally, we are excited to be hosting some of these stars here,” said Gumbi.
