The Network has produced for all advertising categories and genres of film. We have produced international campaigns for financial institutions, cars, beauty, food, fashion, real-estate, PSAs and more. Recent productions include global brand campaigns and top secret launches.

Global Reach

The Network’s production expertise and connections extend far beyond our South African base. We are well versed in international logistics and have produced in, or for more than forty countries around the planet. Lately our focus has been on Asia, however, recent productions for Canada and the US illustrate the appeal of our approach.

Approach

The Network builds durable, fair relationships with clients, crews and suppliers, based on transparency, respect and communication. We’ve earned a reputation for attention to detail, thorough preparation and well managed shoots.

The Network approach is streamlined, transparent and pragmatic and based on ongoing engagement with our clients to ensure no detail or need (specific equipment, dietary or cultural) is overlooked. Network budgets are designed to give clients a realistic picture of all elements required to fully deliver their projects while protecting their margins and upstream relationships. We do not arbitrarily ‘price dump’ to win jobs but work to deliver the tightest of margins as specified by client.

The Network is home to some very experienced industry professionals with a broad skills base which includes special effects design, digital alchemy and remote logistics. The Network team is at home with film, digital, virtual reality, 3D, augmented reality and all aspects and genres of stills and filmmaking. This allows us to support clients more closely and provides an extended resource when finding solutions to the widest range of production challenges.

The Network is based in Cape Town, in the Western Cape of South Africa, an area which boasts the greatest diversity of locations – within reasonable travelling distance – on the planet. South Africa known as ‘World in one Country’ has a vast range of topography, architecture, and climatic variation. The Network’s location database is exhaustive, embracing Southern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and tropical Indian Ocean Island paradises such as the Seychelles and Mauritius.
