Biography

Layla Swart is one of South Africa's most accomplished film producers and editors, celebrated for her ability to craft bold, globally resonant African stories. She has produced critically acclaimed films such as Sew the Winter to My Skin and Knuckle City, both of which were South Africa's consecutive submissions for the Academy Awards-a historic achievement. As the founder of Yellowbone Entertainment, her work has premiered at top-tier festivals, including TIFF, while her epic series Blood Psalms redefined African fantasy. Having produced 9 films and 1 series, her resume is remarkable. In 2023, Layla was honored with the 40 Under 40 Award for her success in the entertainment industry, and in 2024, she was recognized by Constitution Hill as one of 30 women who have significantly contributed to transformation during 30 years of democracy in South Africa. Represented by CAA's Africa division, Layla continues to champion African narratives, foster new talent, and push the boundaries of the global film and television industry.
