WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING = APRIL 2010

2010-04-30T08:56:00.000-07:00

Blogging doesnt seem to be something were good at, so starting today i am gonna give a blogg on what is hot and happening at RSF on a regular basis

RSF Commercials: Mickie and i leave tomorrow for a trip to JHB where we are shooting a Dutch TVC for ING bank and will need Lions and Camels and many orange Dutch football supporters and some good weather.

I am amazed at how location friendly Gauteng is. Basically you can shoot at their football stadiums for a fee which isnt even prohibitive..in CT you arent even allowed to look at it - never mind shoot it...so Cape Town you really need to work on your film friendliness.

RSF TV is working on the many filler stories that will be broadcast during the worldcup by Host Broadcast service on behalf of Fifa. Ceridwin and Magnette are on this.

RSFs post production and Carlos is busy and editing up a 30 minute documentary on Jigawa province in Nigeria.

RSF Features is co-producing a documentary with Film and Media Entertainment (UK) called Street Kids United that is takes place during the Street Kids World Cup. It shoots in 3 phases, starting last month. it is directed by Tim Pritchard who is well known for his work on Ross on Gangs.

talk to you soon

Privileged

2008-02-07T04:26:00.000-08:00

Some friends had come down from London for a visit and I was reminded about how privileged capetonians all are. Listening to the talk about commuting for 4 hours a day, constant rain, the floods, not so friendly people!! Really? Are there mean people out there? I am blessed that I am surrounded by wonderful people.

In Cape Town we live, yes ofcourse we work…we work plenty, but we live! We get to the beach every now and then (some more than others!), we share wine and sumptuous feasts. For most, the busiest part of their day is the rush to watch the sunset at the end of the day over breezy cocktails. We admire our mountain, and revel in the beauty we are surrounded by.

Capetonians are indeed a most privileged bunch, and we know it!

So I (a privileged one) share with all my friends in colder climates some of my pics of a peaceful fishing village I had the privilege of visiting this past weekend. (its not the usual Clifton Prada Gucci wearing crowd, but it was a beautiful taste of the reality that lay outside our production world!)

So be inspired to come and take some of your own sunny pics and come and visit us soon.

Rachel Young - Executive Producer & Owner

Mmmmmm

i am writing on this blogg site under duress….( colleen made me do it!)..well what can I say that you don’t already know. I love living in cape town – and have since 1995 – I also love traveling and just spent 6 weeks abroad in Germany ( Berlin), Ireland, Birmingham in the UK, Malta and Croatia. I am a great fan of CSI and my latest tv addiction is Brothers and Sisters. I love alternative music – muse is one of my favourites..

I love good food – I produced programs for the like of BBC Food, CFN and Taste for a few years and have become accustomed to inventive menus, with tastes fromall around the world.

I am very excited about having been involved in The Bird Can’t Fly who gets its premier at sansebastiand festival next week. Well done to Threes Anna who directed and everyone else who worked on the film it was my first ( but not my last feature film)

Mickie Birkett - Production Manager / Line Producer

Passion, passion, and more passion. Not the type where we dress in black and lay claim that we would rather die than not make art. But the type where I can happily wear yellow and pink and know that the happiness I have is from being able to do the things I love with the people that I love?

Having left the land of law for theatre, and then the land of theatre for film, I can happily say that I have made the right decisions…..and yet it is so easy to forget all that one has done along the way.

I have directed plays, danced professionally around the world, taught young children to dance and laugh and play. But most of all, I have learned the values of humility and humanity.

And now for the flip side….if anyone has seen my pradas….pls call 555 – rescue me.

Colleen Ranck - Production Co-ordinator & Office Manager

I am basically what you call furniture at razor sharp, I've been here for as long as I can remember, so usually if you need anything I would be the one to ask or point you in the right direction.

I enjoy going out, having fun, watching movies and spending time with my fiance. Travel is definately on the cards in the near future.
