(The Invitation)
We Haven't
Built It Yet
Azania MediaWorks is developing a purpose-built, vertically integrated production ecosystem at Dube TradePort, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa — envisioned to bring together sound stages, virtual production, crew, equipment, post-production, accommodation and logistics within one Special Economic Zone.
We haven't built it yet.
That's why we're inviting you.
Before we break ground, we want the people who will use it to help shape it. Join us for an intimate industry conversation at the Venice Production Bridge.
(The Questions)
What Would Make You Bring Your Next Production to Africa?
- ✶
What stages do you need?
- ✶
What services should sit on-site?
- ✶
What would make your production go further — from competitive production economics and incentives to integrated accommodation, logistics and post-production?
- ✶
How do we remove the friction producers experience when shooting internationally?
- ✶
And how do we build sustainable co-production pipelines between Africa and the world?
(The Ambition)
Whether your production is €2M or €20M, our ambition is to design an ecosystem that gives filmmakers more production value, more locations, less friction and stronger partnerships.
But we don't want to design it in isolation. We want to build around real productions, not assumptions.
We're not inviting you to see what we've built.
We're inviting you to help shape what we build.
Africa has the stories.
Africa has the talent.
