Ronnie Nyakale Gangster’s Paradise: Jerusalema
Gangster’s Paradise: Jerusalema, originally titled Jerusalema, is a 2008 South African crime film written and directed by Ralph Ziman. The film was submitted to the Academy Awards to qualify as a nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. It was a box office bomb, grossing only $400,000 against the production budget of $2 million.
Production of Jerusalema was difficult because the filmmakers struggled to find a budget when South Africa’s National Film and Video Foundation would not invest in their project. The filmmakers found enough financing to make the film, and Ziman reflected that the budget was smaller than music videos he had directed. Ziman said of the experience, “We used skateboards as dollies on the set and old-technology cameras to film. We cut down on the crew but I don’t think anyone who sees the film will realize that.”
Gangster’s Paradise: Jerusalema‘s filmmakers initially sought to distribute the film in theaters through the South African cinema chain Ster-Kinekor, but because the filmmakers sought to hold onto rights for release on DVD and TV, the chain chose not to back them. Instead, the filmmakers found backing from Metro FM and the Gauteng Film Commission, which helped them with publicity, including a premiere in Berlin.
