Ten30 Pictures’ Head on Netflix Original Series ‘GO!’ and Plans to Turn Joburg Studio Into ‘A24 of Africa’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Ten30 Pictures founder Kutlwano Ditsele says the Netflix series 'GO!' set the model for how he can turn his Joburg studio into 'the A24 of Africa.'

The six-part series was created by Ditsele and head writer Thuli Zuma, whose credits include the hit Showmax original “The Wife.” The show is directed by Tristan Holmes, who won an Academy Award in 2006 for his student film “Elalini.” The series marks the veteran producer’s return to TV after a brief hiatus, with Ditsele — whose credits include the hit MultiChoice dramas “Gomora” and “The Herd” — stressing his determination to “find a way to make the business work for me.” Ditsele, who’s represented by Talitha Watkins, a co-founder with Issa Rae and Deniese Davis of the management and production company ColorCreative, isn’t limiting his creative scope to South Africa: He’s currently attached to a “massive show” with a U.S. studio, alongside “GO!” co-creator Zuma.
