The movie will open in cinemas on 23 February 2024 countrywide and is distributed and released by Filmfinity (Pty) Ltd.
Franklin Blaze (Bradley Olivier), a hardworking young man from an impoverished background who hides his past from his colleagues and fiancée, Kim Fortuin (Kim Syster), realises his upcoming wedding and prestigious job are at stake when his biological half-brother, Felipé Baadjies (Solomon Cupido), is desperate for his help. Felipé is a passionate, but lost soul, who urgently needs money and threatens to reveal Franklin’s secrets if he doesn’t help him repay the money he owes to a vicious loan shark.
With his back up against the wall, Franklin decides to provide refuge to his brother and include him in the wedding, but he soon regrets this hasty decision… Can Frankie and Felipé rejuvenate their brotherly bond to serve their best interests? Or will this facade destroy the wedding of the year?
With Marvin-Lee Beukes in the director’s chair and Nick Burton Moore as cinematographer, the cast includes Bradley Olivier, Solomon Cupido, Kim Syster, Bianca Flanders, Ilse Klink, Zane Meas, Shimmy Isaacs, Danny Ross, Bouwer Bosch, Lee-Ann van Rooi, Brendon Daniels and Terence Bridgett among others.
“Frankie en Felipé is a project that’s very close to my heart. Bradley, the team and I have been working on the film for the past four years, and the public will finally get a glimpse of what they can expect on 23 February 2024. I’m as excited as a child on Christmas Day!” – Solomon Cupido.
