South African supernatural crime series “Acts of Man” took home the biggest cash prize Monday night at the Durban FilmMart award ceremony:
“Acts of Man” scooped the Known Inner Circle Award, which was handed out by the recently launched venture from South Africa’s Known Associates Group (KAG) and Canada’s Inner City Films (ICF) and Circle Blue Entertainment (CBE). The award included a cash prize of $10,000 for the show’s creators, Sheetal Magan and Sean Drummond.
The series follows two city detectives who are called to investigate a brutal ritualistic killing in a remote mountain town, where the shaken conservative community is convinced the devil is at work. As Variety previously announced, the show has already been boarded by Casey Walker of Toronto-based Cave Painting Pictures, veteran Canadian producer Todd Brown (“The Raid,” “Mandy”) and Naysun Alae-Carew at Blazing Griffin in the U.K.
