Marriott Africa & Middle East

Marriott is an international brand and this ad was meant to entice a global audience.

It was shot in 8 different countries and we excelled in sourcing the most beautiful locations in the world for the production. We understood that we weren't meant to be selling just hotel rooms - we were capturing the beauty and inherent magic of a place.

Filmed in South Africa, Mauritius, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, & Egypt

Meta Beer Ethiopia

The purpose of this ad was to revive an old beer brand. The brief was to find a static old character; an ‘Ethiopian Elvis,’ and we sure found the perfect guy for the role! The actor delighted and enchanted everyone around him, and the idea of an old brand ‘dancing into the new’ was stunningly captured. We also sourced one of the top dancing bands in Ethiopia to accompany the vibe.

Guinness Cameroon

Women’s soccer has come a long way and at the forefront of this amazing movement is Christine Manie, the captain of the ‘Indomitable Lionesses,’ the Cameroonian Women’s National Football Team, for which Guiness is a sponsor. The story here perfectly captured the determination of an African woman breaking barriers to succeed in a sport where women are often marginalised and poorly paid. Cameroon is a colourful and aesthetically brilliant location which perfectly captures the optimistic spirit of Africans.

Chicken Licken, Egypt and South Africa

What a fun commercial! You can’t just emulate the pyramids; we went to Egypt to capture their magic for this shoot. Believe it or not, the rest was shot in South Africa, including the pharaoh tomb scenes. We worked hard to get the feel of being everywhere in Africa and we pulled it off because South Africa is abundant with multiple amazing film locations and a diverse pool of people to cast.

Before the 90 days

Over the years, we have been the most sought-after film fixer company for a variety of reality shows. This spin off of ‘90 Day Fiance’ was about Americans finding themselves in a foreign country and navigating life, love and relationships. The show was mainly shot in Africa, namely: Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Zanzibar and South Africa. Reality shows are complex creatures, because one also has to capture the realistic mood of the characters as well as the locations they find themselves in.

DHL Got Heart

DHL’s Got Heart is a global competition celebrating DHL Express colleagues who gave up their free time for good causes - and we were there to capture the emotion and heart-string pulling impact that these people had on others. Africa is inherently about community and ‘ubuntu’ and we captured that spirit of giving beautifully.

Line Producer

Durand Le Sueur

Durand has spent his entire career involved in the production of commercials in uncharted territories and has, over the past 18 years, produced/executive produced more than 350 films.

Durand firmly believes that the only constant is change and as Africa evolves, so does he. He is confident that in the very near future, all the big, global brands will eventually move to produce on the continent of Africa. In this venture, he moves into line-producing, which will enable him to work with like-minded filmmakers who already produce world class media content, but need the services of a seasoned professional with local knowledge of any country on the African continent.

Film Producer

Andrew Lee Ross

In a nutshell, I love film: Every single aspect of it!

Shooting for the first time in Africa may appear daunting, so it’s imperative that our clients feel welcome, safe and in reliable hands. I thrive on creating strong relationships from first contact, to nurturing these professional relationships for many years to come. I have vast knowledge of all the regions on the African continent, ranging from South to North Africa and everything in between.

I pride myself in the smooth delivery of services; from receiving the brief and personally sourcing locations, to ensuring the client receives exactly what was requested. I am available 24/7 for help with visas, travel, accommodation and
booking our most experienced, finest, and most trustworthy hardworking and diligent crew.

I source all equipment and gear from reputable sources, paying attention to minute details of the whole production process, and offering innovative solutions to stay way ahead of the curve on set, all the way to the final edit. I have had many satisfied clients working within budget for maximum effect.

My years of experience and knowledge gained as a producer on TV commercials, Reality TV, documentaries and film mean that there is no job too big or small: I’ve done them all!
