South Easter Productions was born out of a necessity for change in the world of content creation. Fully transparent and inclusive, South Easter Productions leads a team of creatives focused on producing content in the most efficient way possible.

"Our devoted team has been involved in every aspect of content creation, from pre-production, on-set shooting, and post-production, to broadcasting on television. While most production houses need to outsource these services, our extensive experience means we know how to handle them more easily, quickly, and cost-effectively than the old hands who "know a guy."

With transparent, real-time cost information, our clients have access to all the details they need regarding the budget and its implementation. From the high day rates of a Phantom camera to the price of a cup of coffee from the corner shop, it's all accounted for and updated as we progress through the shooting schedule. Invoices paid to our suppliers are shared with clients, along with our bank-approved proof of payment. This is how we operate: no hidden costs, no funny business. Everyone wins.

Give us a call and let’s go shoot in Africa!"
