The Day We Didn’t Meet (2021)
Boy meets girl, again, in The Day We Didn’t Meet, which follows one-time lovers Alex and Sam, whose reunion could be total coincidence, or fate giving them one last shot at love. In a game of “let’s pretend” that spirals out of control, the two find themselves pretending they’re an old married couple, but reality keeps knocking at the door until they are unable to seek refuge in their fabricated fantasy.
The local romance stars Silwerskerm Best Actress winner Lea Vivier (DAM, Wonderlus, Fynskrif) and Steven John Ward (Inconceivable, Vagrant Queen), as well as the likes of aKing frontman Laudo Liebenberg (DAM, Black Sails, Die Byl), SAFTA nominee Jennifer Steyn (DAM, Goodbye Bafana), Cedwyn Joel (Suidooster, Generations) and Francis Chouler (DAM, Eye in the Sky).
