“So… here’s the deal, right?” 33 Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie comedy from South Africa titled Soweto Blaze, the latest from South African filmmaker Brad Katzen. This initially premiered at the 2023 Austin Film Festival last year, and it’s now set for release starting on 4/20 on Netflix this wekend – in celebration of international cannabis day. It’s a quirky comedy in the vein of Friday or Cheech & Chong, with a strong influence from filmmakers like Edgar Wright, Kevin Smith, and Guy Ritchie. Here’s the plot: “Soweto Blaze is a unique take on a familiar story involving a down-on-his luck marijuana dealer… When Dill & Pickle, two stoner friends of Mo’s decide on a whim to kidnap Thandi, a local gangster’s daughter, hoping her dad will pay a tidy ransom for her, they decide to stash her at Mo’s house. Things spiral out of control as Mo is reluctantly pulled into his friends’ dim-witted scheme and forced to watch over this feisty young woman, who will do whatever it takes to escape!” This stars Matli Mohapeloa, Dimpho More, Nhlanhla Masiya, Sydney Ndlovu, Nyeleti Khoza, Sello Sebotsane, and Palesa Mosiea.
