International co-production:
RHP International is focused on developing relationships with international partners
who wish to enjoy the many benefits shooting in South Africa can offer a production.
To this end, Luke Rous has been travelling to international film festivals and markets
around the world for the past number of years and making connections with
international partners. Luke was invited to attend IFF (International financing forum)
held in Toronto in 2018 as well as Fin Partners Co-Production market in Halifax,
Nova Scotia. This effort has resulted in RHP International being awarded
development funding from the NFVF (National Film and Video Foundation of South
Africa) and the CMF (Canada Media Fund) for the development of an 8-part historical
gold rush mini-series.
RHP International has also partnered with BET and local VOD platform Showmax to
co-produce the comedy series Black Tax and as the majority IP shareholder, RHP
