Local crime thriller trailer released
New local film set to hit the screens this March.
The official trailer for the local crime thriller, Nommer 37, which follows the life of Randal Hendricks, played by Irshaad Ally (Suidooster and Four Corners), a recent paraplegic, who, entrapped in his apartment, is given a gift of binoculars by his devoted girlfriend, Pam (Monique Rockman).
“With a title like Nommer 37 and set in a fictional Cape Flats area, you would think this is a film about gangsters – it’s not,” said the film’s writer and director, Nosipho Dumisa. “What it is, is an out-and-out crime thriller that tightens the screws of tension with every minute.
“It’s about everything that could go wrong for a couple when depression, curiosity, greed, fear and horrific bad decision-making collide.”
Randal finds himself in financial debt to Emmie (Danny Ross), a sadistic loan shark, however, when he witnesses a powerful criminal named Lawyer (David Manuel), commit murder while observing his neighbours through his binoculars, Randal initiates a blackmail scheme in an attempt to settle his debt.
With deception and greed around every corner, what follows is a thrilling ride that puts both Randal and his girlfriend’s lives in mortal danger as the world around him deteriorates further and further into chaos. The film boasts a talented cast, including Sandi Schultz (Binnelanders, Noem my Skollie), Deon Lotz (Hansie, Faan se Trein) and Elton Landrew (Die ek, Anna, Dryfsand, 7de Laan), among many.
Nommer 37 is heading for the international big screen and is set for its world premiere at the SXSW (South by Southwest) International Film Festival in Texas from 9 to 16 March. This is the first South African feature film to receive a world premiere at the SXSW as well as the first, fully South African feature film, to make the SXSW selection.
