7 THINGS TO KNOW about shooting in South Africa in this new world

It’s Summer! Our borders are open for all business & film industry travellers,  our grass is green thanks to a wet winter and the exchange rate means 23% more production value than last year. 

Working safely and efficiently: Our approach is to embrace and adapt to this new production environment, apply strict safety protocols, and leverage this changing world to find new efficiencies, giving you the best bang for your buck.  

South Africa’s risk-adjusted strategy meant that we’ve moved from the world’s strictest lockdown in March to Level 1 and open borders in October, with support and approval from the WHO. 

This has resulted in South Africa being a stable alternative to other production destinations that are struggling with second waves.    

We’ve included links to 7 articles which sum up everything you need to know to shoot in South Africa this season, and plenty of good reasons to do so.
