We're an independent studio that finds the story and tells it properly. We've taken the Clean Creatives pledge, so we're driven by our ethos and strive to work with people aligned in the same way. People who dare to put their values in the forefront of their craft. For seven years we've been trusted with the footage, the research and the cut by producers, creatives and documentary-makers who care how the work gets made, and who they make it with. For people, not brands.
The right media, cleared and ready. Footage, stills and music — we hold the relationships (Getty, Filmsupply, Reuters and more), do the digging, handle the rights, and hand you the few worth using. Simplified licensing, none of the admin.
Most first edits are a starting point. Ours tend to be the answer. Twenty years of advertising will do that. The case study films behind three Cannes Grand Prix and a D&AD Black Pencil submissions, pitch films and manifestos that win the work, social cut-downs, meticulous across every version. Editing, motion, colour and sound, whether it's one film that has to land or fifty versions that have to ship.
Some archives were never digitised. To get to them, you have to be in the room. That's where we are. We have physical access to SABC, Mayibuye and specialist collections in South Africa (known or unknown), all dug through by researchers who know what they're looking for and what's been seen a thousand times already.
