'South Africa is on the brink now of being able to take on the world,' says Reyka producer
sat down with director Zee Ntuli and producer Harriet Gavshon about the show's global reach and the impact on the local television industry.
Harriet added:"I think South Africa is on the brink now of being able to take on the world well, certainly into the world and in our television." "A lot of it is just being persistent and patient. M-Net then became interested in international co-productions, and Fremantle became interested in South Africa as a co-production partner. So that was great. At a certain point, the stars aligned, but they had after eight years."Now it's not only our beautiful locations that are in the spotlight but also our talent.
"It's a very exciting and important time for South African stories, and I think it's going to play an important role in how we see ourselves and how the rest of the world sees us." "Being exposed to a distributor like Fremantle getting insight into how they think and work. I've been fortunate enough to have on this project and been exposed to some incredible minds."Over the past few years, it would appear that South African television and scripted series has been evolving very quickly, which Harriet attributes to"an incredibly good base of skills and talents".
