New Material (2020)
Life is not a funny business, but New Material, the long-awaited sequel to the 2012 triple-SAFTA-winning comedy, Material, definitely is.
Written by Comics Choice Award winner Riaad Moosa and Craig Freimond (Gums & Noses, Jozi, Vaya), who also directs, New Material catches up with stand-up comic Cassim almost ten years on, as he tries to figure out family, belonging and taking his comedy from Fordsburg to the world – or at least on a cross-country road trip.
Both Moosa and Vincent Ebrahim (The Kumars at No. 42) reprise their SAFTA-winning roles from the first film, along with Joey Rasdien (Barakat, Bunny Chow), Carishma Basday (Tali’s Baby Diary), Zakeeya Patel (The Girl from St. Agnes, The Wild) and SAFTA winner Denise Newman (Shirley Adams, Suidooster), while SAFTA winner Schalk Bezuidenhout (Hotel, Kanarie) and Rajesh Gopie (Keeping Up with the Kandasamys) are among the new cast.
