Established in 1992, with our offices based in Cape Town
South Africa in the shadow of Table Mountain, we work
anywhere in a country that offers an incredible diversity
of locations and a first-world film infrastructure. We have
a dedicated fulltime team that includes production staff as
well as directors, producers, editors, graphic designers and
animators. We operate four online edit suites, three graphics
stations and a digital division in-house, allowing us
unprecedented creative control over all projects that pass
through our doors.

Our passion is creating content that inspires, sells, motivates, educates and informs. Audio visual content is the most powerful communication tool and whether it’s a 30 second television commercial, a broadcast insert, branded entertainment or a mobile video clip, we understand the dynamics of each communication platform and create appropriate content. Our digital division focuses on content delivery across multiple platforms and media. We actively evaluate digital delivery and display platforms for our clients in order for them to engage their audience, anywhere, anytime and on any device.

We have produced and directed both locally and internationally, working in every conceivable field. We all come from creative backgrounds, so our obsession is film-making; we are solution-focused, flexible, and have an inexhaustible passion for the films that we make. There are no egos; it is purely and simply about making the best possible film.

We’d love to share our passion with you. Ian or Stanley look forward to your call:
