All relationships are complicated. Very complicated. No relationship is simple.
South African filmmaker Kagiso Lediga stars and directs the romantic comedy Catching Feelings, which is making its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival this month.
The film stars almost an entirely black South African cast including Pearl Thusi (Quantico), Andrew Buckland (Shot Down), Akin Omotoso (Blood Diamond), Precious Makgaretsa (Blitzpatrollie), Kate Liquorish (Eye in the Sky), Tessa Jubber (Wallander), and Tyson Cross (The Avengers).
Here’s the synopsis of the film:
Max Matshane (Lediga), is a 34-year-old author who wrote a South African bestseller in his 20s, but whose star has waned and now finds himself as a disgruntled professor, teaching creative writing at the local university. Max lives in a leafy Johannesburg suburb with his exceptionally beautiful wife, Samkelo (Thusi), who career is on the rise as a reputable journalist. Despite their love for each other, their relationship has hit a rut.
