Good things for the SA film industry
Issued by: TEC Agency

TEC Video is excited by the reduction in load shedding and the fact that we haven't had to use our generator! In fact there is much to be optimistic about - SA's magnificent beauty, our rich cultural heritage and the abundance of opportunities in our emerging market.

The feature and advertising film industry in South Africa continues to grow. In fact, the industry has a direct annual turnover of more than R2.6 billion, according to the Cape Film Commission.

Hollywood A-list stars Hilary Swank and Richard Gere are currently in South Africa for their newest movie, Earhart. The cast and crew have been shooting scenes around Chapman's Peak and near Kommetjie, and will then head to the Eastern Cape.

The film joins a list of impressive Hollywood blockbusters that have been shot on location in South Africa, such as Blood Diamond with Leonardo DiCaprio, Ali with Will Smith, Country of My Skull with Juliette Binoche and Samuel L. Jackson and Ask The Dust featuring Collin Farrell and Salma Hayek.

Yes, South Africa's economy may not be at its best but it is a global phenomenon and just as there are ups, there are downs. Jeremy Gardiner, director at Investec Asset Management said at a media brief that SA is not moving into recession, that the market had priced in a lot of the present negativity and that as 2009 dawns, we should see some of the negatives turn to positives (Sapa).

In the meantime, TEC Video will transform challenges into opportunities and be more proactive than ever. TEC Video is dedicated to providing the highest quality service and ad agencies, corporates, TV stations, media and events people can expect their guidelines to be met in the most proficient manner. The end result: expertly tailor-made communication material.
