Trailer of the local movie Cook Off that is set to feature on Netflix. The movie is currently the talk of the town
local film “Cook Off” is set to make history when it becomes the first local production to show on popular social media service Netflix which has over 160 million subscribers. The award-winning film is a tale of a single mother who enters a reality cooking show without professional culinary experience and the odds are seemingly against her as she battles with top chefs.
It was written and directed by Tomas Brickhill and produced by Joe Njagu. The hilarious comedy features Tendainashe Chitima, Jessesi Mungoshi, Eddie Sandifolo, Chirikure Chirikure and popular rapper Tendai Nguni, affectionately known as Tehn Diamond.
In an interview with The Herald, Brickhill said this was a great achievement in the history of Zimbabwe. “We are really proud of this achievement and feel that this shows the hard work and talent that every member of the cast and crew brought to this film,” he said.
Brickhill said the way the movie has been premièring in different countries has helped in striking the Netflix deal.
“Cook Off’ was selected to screen at a number of international film festivals — over 15, including Rotterdam, Seattle, Durban, Nairobi and PAFF in Los Angeles. It really helped to give the film great exposure although we could not afford to go to all the festivals. We made some really helpful connections at the ones we attended and these helped us to secure the distribution deal,” he said.
