Milk and Honey Films, a global production company which provides services for
commercials, feature films, TV series and content creation, has settled in to a new
office just off Kloof Street in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town.
After opening for business in October the Cape Town team are already bidding on
jobs and readying themselves for a busy first season on local soil.
With offices already established in Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Prague and Shanghai,
Milk and Honey is not only able to respond to briefs around the world, throughout
the year but is also able to offer clients a range of locations at competitive rates.
As heads of the new office creative producer Sarah Druce and executive producer
Sean Pritchard believe they are able to offer clients both a strategic and creative
point of view on projects.
Pritchard carries 10 years of Cape-based production experience and has worked on
fashion stills, films and TV commercials. Druce has experience working on global
brands for leading creative agencies Saatchi and Y&R, and says opening a Cape
Town branch was an obvious addition to the company’s existing global network.
“Clients from America will often look to Buenos Aires as a southern hemisphere
option that can help budgets work harder. Similarly for our European based clients,
Cape Town is the perfect option. The Cape Town industry is long established and
highly renowned; everyone in the Milk and Honey family is really excited about
being able to offer it as a new destination,’ says Druce.
Having lived and worked in London along with Pritchard, Druce says the two are
happy to be back in South Africa, a country they are passionate about, and are
looking forward to creating a successful business here.
“One of the benefits of shooting in Cape Town is that everything is within easy
reach and we are in the heart of it all, from our suppliers to the best locations,
restaurants, hotels and beaches,’ adds Druce. “Depending on the size and location
of a project we create “pop-up’ offices to work out of. As well as ensuring we are
physically where the client needs us, it allow us to be more competitive when
bidding by keeping our ongoing overheads as low as possible.’
The group’s worldwide portfolio includes work for high profile brands such as
Heineken, Breitling, Jeep, Nike, Vodacom, Volkswagen and Unilever, to name a
few.
