US, February 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- World-renowned film production company African Fixer Network has been working tirelessly to provide remote production solutions that are saving the African Film industry. Covid-19 restrictions have had a debilitating effect on the vast majority of film productions. The lockdowns and restrictions have affected tasks such as traveling abroad to conduct shoots. This is where remote production became the much-needed lifeline for production companies, and for the African film industry alike.

Durand Le Sueur, one of Africa’s top-line producers and the head producer at African Fixer, says: “We have shot a few remote productions now; some were really big productions. African Fixer produced Samsung Global in Nigeria for Felix Brady and Stink Films UK. The client had the opportunity to be involved but not actually have to be present on the shoot, in the chaos of the streets of Lagos in Nigeria, for example. The film was a huge success, and it has proven that teamwork makes the dream work!”

Remote work significantly helps to decrease the Carbon footprint and pairs with pandemic safety protocol since there are also fewer people on set– this also allows for a more focused creative process to flow.

The African Film Industry
According to Le Sueur, the South African film industry is well ahead of the game, as the country has been producing quality content for years. However, as the competition is growing more fierce, arising from various parts of the African continent, the company’s film fixers are getting busier than ever.

Governments have now also realized that focusing on boosting film production in their various jurisdictions will mean more job creation and a boost to their country's economy, especially since the promotion of film industries has escalated across the board.

Le Sueur says, “Africa is rich in diversity and culture. We have awesome people and amazing locations, and Africa is pure, raw, and full of life-changing experiences. For almost twenty years, I’ve seen production companies come back to Africa, again and again, to shoot - not only because it’s amazing, but the very soul of it gets under your skin, and that feeling never goes away.”

African Fixer believes strongly in what Africa has to provide and that countries such as South Africa and the continent as a whole is rich in talent and resources. Their dedication and passion are evident in the heart and soul that they put towards the extensive list of services provided that they provide:
