Pulse
Picked by The Hollywood Reporter as one of the 25 buzziest series at this year’s MIPTV, Pulse is about an international group of game creators who discover that survival is no longer just a game when an electromagnetic pulse bomb fries every electrical circuit in their office high-rise – and people’s heads.
Pulse stars SAFTA winners Tarryn Wyngaard (Stam, DAM) and Thapelo Mokoena (Trackers, Wild at Heart), as well as Sven Ruygrok (Spud’s Rambo) and two-time Silwerskerm winner Carel Nel (Gaia, Rage), with cameos from the likes of multi-award-winners Albert Pretorius (Nêrens, Noord-Kaap, Johnny Is Nie Dood Nie) and Laré Birk (Dominee Tienie, Vir Altyd), as well as stage and screen legend Frank Opperman (Dominee Tienie, Nêrens, Noord-Kaap).
The survival horror story, which is directed by multi-award-winner Salmon de Jager (Dominee Tienie, Free State) and produced by Emmy winner Steve Lanning (Secret Garden), is set in a world created by SAFTA-winning production designer Waldemar Coetsee (Toorbos, Meerkat Maantuig) and brought to life by the visionary VFX team of Laurent-Paul Robert (Harry Potter, The Dark Knight Rises) and Hilton Treves (Tomb Raider, Blood Psalms).
Shot in South Africa and Mauritius, the Showmax Original is the result of an international collaboration between global production and finance company Media Musketeers, UK-based ForLan Films and SA’s Red Mirror, co-produced with MediaPro.
