Village Bliss Production
"Where Village Stories Came to life!"
A Cape Town-based film production company dedicated to showcasing the richness and complexity of rural African stories.
About Zinzi Bidi
My name is Zinzi Bidi, a creative film producer based in Cape Town. I grew up in the rural villages of the Eastern Cape, where I developed a deep love for the beauty, culture, and stories of village life. I began writing in 2020, and in 2022 to 2023, my first short film, Don't Blame The World, was developed and fully funded by the National Film and Video Foundation in South Africa for both development and production.
Following this success, I founded Village Bliss Production, where I write, develop, and produce films while collaborating with experienced industry professionals. My company focuses on telling authentic rural stories that highlight the richness, beauty, and complexity of village life - stories that are often overlooked or misrepresented.
Currently, I have multiple projects in development, including feature films, series, and an animated film, all reflecting my commitment to creating compelling, meaningful stories that resonate with audiences locally and internationally.
