Showmax x Actor Spaces Masterclasses: Layla Swart on producing local content

Layla Swart, with Jahmil XT Qubeka, was responsible for South Africa’s 2020 Oscar entry Knuckle City. The boxing drama was the most awarded film at the 2020 SAFTAs, where it took home six awards, including Best Director for Qubeka and Best Editor for Swart, as well as the most nominated film at the 2020 Africa Movie Academy Awards, where it won two awards.

Now, they’ve finally unveiled Africa’s most ambitious series yet, Blood Psalms, and what it takes to shoot locally relevant stories for the competitive international stage.
