Well here it is... A blog about the Film Industry in Cape Town. The little city at the bottom of the flat mountain where we shoot over 300 commercials a year and often more than 20 feature films. I tend to spend more days in the year working on Feature Films, but I also get my fair share of commercials work.
Commercials work is divided into service jobs for the overseas market and local jobs for local TV and Movie Theaters (South Africa has a proud and successful advertising industry with many Cannes Golden Lions under our belts). The feature film industry is almost entirely service driven, especially in Cape Town with Feature films being shot for German, France, The UK, Bollywood (India) and of course Hollywood - Everyone wants to work the big Hollywood in winter, keeps the bank balance healthy.
If you want to see what Movies I've worked on you can check that out here: IMDB and the IMDB is a good resource for checking out anyone else who you may end up working with in the future, and don't forget that you were warned when their resume shows that their last 5 movies where "Zombie Strippers 1 through 5"
Hope you enjoy my ramblings and please feel free to comment on anything.
