South African production house the Imaginarium has two new projects to be partly financed by its Saffco Fund 55. The Imaginarium head Izidore Codron (Hotel Rwanda, Man to Man) said the fund -- a draw down fund that will provide 55% of a film's funding so long as the money is spent in South Africa -- will finance The Fringe, a $4 million coming-of-age movie about a female South African hip hop group's rags-to-riches rise. The movie is in pre-production to start shooting in South Africa in September. Leading the mostly local cast is Michael Filipowich (Charlie Jade). Additional funding is being provided by several private equity investors.
