Red Letter Day Pictures
Red Letter Day Pictures is a Cape Town production company led by creative producers René and Corné van Rooyen, making South African stories built for the world.
Our work spans cinema and prime-time television. René's Toorbos was South Africa's official submission to the 93rd Academy Awards. Summertide, which René and Corné created alongside Tascha van der Westhuizen for M-Net, ran for four seasons and now streams worldwide on Acorn TV. At home, our team has delivered audience favourites, from Vaselinetjie at the box office to the record-breaking Alles Malan and the new kykNET drama Beter as Gister.
Now we're taking that track record into international co-production, with a slate of features in development, including a Canadian co-production.
