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 give.

Here is the short of it. For shoots applying to the DTIC, nearing global co-productions partners, or pursuing funding that leverages Cape Town Film Studios and South Africa's varied settings, we tailor the deck to its audience, integrating budget summaries, location visuals, comparable shoots 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 funding decisions.

Here is the breakdown. South Africa gives a pitch a genuinely strong story to tell. The country has a long-set up rebates administered by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, in the past a rebates of around 25% of qualifying South African production expenditure for foreign shoots, 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.
