Rise and Shine Films is the rebellious brainchild of Natalie Geyser — a producer who’s not afraid to throw narrative punches.

From post-apartheid suburbs to West African fever dreams, Natalie brings a raw, human edge to films like Triomf, The Cursed Ones, and Low Rider. Her radar is tuned to the real, the urgent, the unforgettable.

She cut her teeth on Jerusalema in 2004, co-founded Red Pill Productions by 2007, and took Triomf to Cannes — setting the tone for two decades of bold, uncompromising storytelling.
Now leading Rise and Shine Films, she’s producing The Quiet One, a cross-continental documentary about exile, memory, and radical presence. Also in the pipeline: Sum of All Things Lost, a psychological crime thriller — and a slate of new work for 2026 and beyond.
