South Africa, an Emerging Force in Global Film-Making – Commentary by Cape Town Film Studios

“The main challenge is how things are perceived. South Africa was regarded as a great location but not necessarily known for manufacturing and high-tech innovation in film,” explains Nico Dekker, CEO of Cape Town Film Studios.

“My feeling with this studio was that from the start we should work on changing perceptions and show that this complex could be a very innovative and creative manufacturing hub with the potential to do anything and be on the cutting edge of the world. I believe that this will also change the reputation of the country.”
