SA PROJECT WINS AT MIPTV ONLINE+

Mother City, a gritty 43-minute drama series presented at MIPTV Online+ in April, won the In Development Drama Series Pitch this year.

The 8 x 43 minute drama series was pitched during MIPTV’s first ever virtual summit in April. The pitch was presented by Ernest Napoleon of Enigma Pictures, with Greig Buckle’s Local Motion Pitcures attached as the company producing the series in SA, and Moonrise Pictures attached as partners.

Mother City tells the story of Charlie Moloi, who believed he receive his big break when he was picked to be part of an elite group of young officers selected to represent the SA Police’s Violent Crimes division at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. But when he returns as the department’s shining star to the newly established Murder Forensics Division, Charlie is immediately stymied by bizarre crimes that defy even the best forensic detection – crimes of a supernatural nature.

The series is currently in search of broadcasters, distributors and co-producers.
