Showmax Chief Yolisa Phahle Talks Co-Production And ‘Black Panther Effect’ As Streamer Reveals First Trailer For African Fantasy Drama ‘Blood Psalms’
will have its world premiere in Cape Town on Wednesday August 24 as the opening night screening at MIP Africa, part of FAME Week Africa. The show then debuts to subscribers on September 28, with new episodes dropping even week for 11 weeks thereafter.
“This show was specifically created as a reimagining of ourselves as Africans, as an answer to, ‘Who are we?’,” added Phelane. “It’s done in a very entertaining way, with a lot of drama and action.”Show creators Swart and Qubeka were responsible for South Africa’s 2020 Oscar entry,, a boxing drama that won six SAFTAs, , including Best Director for Qubeka and Best Editor for Swart. “What we’re trying to do is to reclaim the continent’s history from an African perspective,” said Swart.
Phahle acknowledged that local competitive was “more fierce than ever,” but claimed her company’s approach gave Showmax an advantage. “The fact of the matter is that Showmax is doing something different to our competition. Our only market is Africa and so every single resource we have goes towards winning the hearts and minds of people in Africa; we’d like people in America to watch our shows but that’s not what we care about.
