Breekpunt
Chelsea Thomas stars as a gutsy teenager fighting for the chance to compete on the international tennis stage. The challenges she must overcome are not only on the tennis court, and what she gains is so much more than a trophy.
Breekpunt reunites Chelsea with her Spinners and Arendsvlei co-star Cantona James, who plays a former tennis champion. Also look out for SAFTA winner Lorcia Cooper-Kumalo (Red Ink, Lockdown) and Sherman Pharo (Thys Cupido in Arendsvlei) as her parents.
Breekpunt is produced by multi-award-winners Ochre Moving Pictures (triple SAFTA winner Justice Served; Lioness; Spoorloos 4: Die Eiland), with Nicola Hanekom directing. A SAFTA-nominated and Fleur du Cap-winning actress, Hanekom has written on series like Dwaalster and directed on SAFTA nominated films and series like Cut-Out Girls and Dwaalster. Headed by Ilse van Hemert (Lioness), the writing team includes SAFTA winner Quanita Adams (Hier.Na).
