WATCH South African Crime Thriller ‘Nommer 37’ Trailer

The official trailer for South Africa’s crime thriller, NOMMER 37, was released today… and is set for its official world premier in the USA next week.

The film, produced by Gambit Films, is set in a fictional Cape Flats area.

“You would think that this is a film about gangsters – it’s not,” says director and writer Nosipho Dumisa.

“What it is, is an out-and-out crime thriller that tightens the screws of tension with every minute. It’s about everything that could go wrong for a couple when depression, curiosity, greed, fear and horrific bad decision-making collide.”

NOMMER 37  is heading for the international big screen and is set for its World Premiere at the SXSW (South by South West) International Film Festival, in Texas, USA, during the week of 9 to 16 March 2018.  This is the very first South African feature film to receive a world premiere at SXSW as well as the first fully South African feature film to make SXSW selection.

The film tells the story of Randal Hendricks (Irshaad Ally – Suidooster and Four Corners), a man who has recently become a paraplegic, and is now entrapped in his apartment. He is given a gift of binoculars by his devoted girlfriend, Pam (Monique Rockman).

But he is in financial debt to Emmie (Danny Ross), a sadistic loan shark, and when he witnesses a powerful criminal, named Lawyer (David Manuel), commit murder while observing his neighbours through his binoculars, he initiates a blackmail scheme in an attempt to settle his debt.

With deception and greed around every corner, what follows is a thrilling ride that puts both their lives in mortal danger… as the world around Randal deteriorates further and further into chaos.

The film also  boasts a very talented cast, including an impressive performance by Monique Rockman, who makes her big screen debut as leading lady, Pam. Sandi Schultz (Binnelanders, Noem My Skollie), Deon Lotz (Hansie, Faan se Trein), Elton Landrew (Die ek, Anna, Dryfsand, 7de Laan), Ephraim Gordon (Class Act), Danny Ross (Broken Vows, Suidooster), David Manuel (The Outsiders, Noem My Skollie), and Amrain Ismail-Essop (This Life, Forgiveness) can also be seen in the movie.
