Film Consultants
From location scouting through to securing crews and equipment, film fixers are the driving force behind commercials, corporate videos, music videos, documentaries and feature films.
Namibia's profile has raised significantly with the success of the long-awaited action movie Mad Max: Fury Road.
Critically acclaimed and an international box-office success, the film spent 100 days shooting in the southern African country with a production base at Swakopmund on the Skeleton Coast. Mad Max director George Miller was drawn to Namibia’s vast desert landscapes as he sought the most dramatic vistas for his post-apocalyptic story. Likely inspired by the visual landscape of Mad Max, the upcoming reboot of The Mummy also decided to shoot in the Namib Desert.
Namibia is a politically stable corner of southern Africa and offers dense bush and rugged mountains alongside the desert terrain. There’s also easy access to South Africa, which is one of the continent’s most established production hubs.

I worked with Hein and his team on a video production where I crossed the Namib desert by foot.
He and his team are pros and everything went smoothly. The shooting and the video were a success. Thanks again :)
