Pitch Deck & Treatment Design

Here is how this works in practice. We produce pitch decks and treatments that present your project clearly and persuasively to the people who fund it. Our team shapes the narrative, structures the commercial case and designs the visual presentation, then builds in the elements South African projects need to win backing: a clear account of the DTIC production rebates and how qualifying expenditure is captured, the cost advantage of the rand, the depth of the local crew base and the range of locations on offer.

Here is the short of it. For productions applying to the DTIC, approaching global co-productions partners, or pursuing financing that leverages Cape Town Film Studios and South Africa's diverse settings, we tailor the deck to its audience, integrating budget summaries, location imagery, comparable productions and a credible production plan. We refine through feedback rounds and deliver presentation-ready files, so the project is shown at the standard investors and TV networks expect when making financing decisions.

Here is the breakdown. South Africa gives a pitch a genuinely strong story to tell. The country has a long-established rebates administered by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, historically a rebate of around 25% of qualifying South African production expenditure for foreign productions, with an extra uplift for post-prod completed in-country. The currency is the rand. A favourable exchange rate makes South Africa one of the most cost-competitive of the world's top production destinations. The National Film and Video Foundation supports the sector. Regional film commissions in Cape Town, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal help production.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The country has serviced major features and series, from Edward Zwick's 'Blood Diamond' to 'Black Sails' and Ridley Scott's 'Raised by Wolves' at Cape Town Film Studios, and is renowned for doubling convincingly for a vast range of world locations. English as an official working language. The SAST time zone's convenience for Europe are further selling points a strong deck makes explicit.
