Headspace (2023)
In Headspace (aka Inside Job), a freak accident sees three nanosized aliens take up residence inside the brain of 14-year-old Norman. They need Norman’s help to save Earth from Zolthard, an intergalactic villain who is stuck in the school principal’s head. Norman, his friends, and the aliens have to conceal the presence of alien life at their high school while continuing the galactic struggle between good and evil. After all, Zolthard still has a school to run and Norman still has homework to hand in!
Headspace was the most watched local film at South African cinemas last year and comes to Showmax after cinema runs in South Africa, Australia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates. The animation is the first feature film from Joburg studio Luma (Shaka Ilembe).
Norman is voiced by SAFTA winner Bonko Khoza (The Wife, Red Ink) and Zolthard by Zak Hendrikz (Binnelanders). There are also dubbed versions in Afrikaans and Zulu.
