Club Ded
Nikhil Singh
Club Ded is an exhilarating psychedelic-noir. Set in Cape Town, Club Ded stars Brick Bryson, iconic African-American 90s action hero, is fresh out of rehab and shooting the doomed sci-fi blockbuster CLUB DED with his old drinking buddy, bad boy, #metoo’d director, Croeser, in South Africa. But all is not as it seems.
Behind the scenes, operatives of Oracle Inc., an elite, all-female information gathering organisation, have gone rogue. Utilising their vast criminal resources, they’re pushing the interests of a street-level psychedelic drug-cult – spearheaded by the mysterious ex- Nollywood director Fortunato, and his underground ‘reality- revolutionaries’. As the subtropical, fish-derived drug begins to exert an apocalyptic influence in secret, the fabric of time itself begins to unravel.
Meanwhile Jennifer, an Oracle girl, is plagued by nightmares, underwater visions of the future. She falls into a fatal love triangle with the despotic Anita and an outsider: a homeless, ex-classical musician, who has renounced everything in an existential bid to save humanity from itself…
