Exclusive Interview & Clip: Jarrid Geduld talks South African action-packed thriller ‘Indemnity’
Hitting in theaters and on demand February 11 from Magnet Releasing is the South African action thriller Indemnity, written and directed by Travis Taute and starring Jarrid Geduld, Nicole Fortuin, Andre Jacobs, Gail Mabalane, and Tshamano Sebe.
INDEMNITY is a high-octane action thriller written and directed by South African filmmaker Travis Taute (Netflix’s his series BLOOD & WATER) that follows an ex-Cape Town fireman (Jarrid Geduld) whose world is rocked when he wakes up next to his wife's dead body with no recollection of what transpired and all evidence pointing to him as the killer. Labeled the prime suspect, Theo quickly finds himself hunted by sinister forces and a notoriously ruthless deputy chief of police and embarks on a breakneck mission to uncover the truth behind his wife’s death before a terrifying conspiracy changes the course of a nation forever.
INDEMNITY is the latest from Cape Town production studio Gambit Films, producers of BLOOD & WATER and instrumental in bringing South African genre cinema into the mainstream. The film marks the feature debut of writer/director Taute, co-writer of Nosipho Dumisa’s award-winning NUMBER 37 and co-director of the short that preceded it by the same name, as well as a writer and director on BLOOD & WATER.
Best known for his performances in the 2018 true-crime drama Ellen: The Story of Ellen Pakkies, for which he was awarded Best Actor in a Feature Film at The South African Film and Television Awards, Jarrid Geduld, spent three months training with stunt masters Vernon Willemse and Grant Powell (MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, TOMB RAIDER) and performed all his own stunts, including a record-breaking hanging suspension stunt performed from the 21st floor. Blackfilmandtv.com’s Wilson Morales caught up with Geduld as he spoke about his experience on Indemnity and the physical training he did for the film.
