The Film Link 

We are an Extras, Locations and Location Security Company, based in the township, and serve Film Production companies that desire to shoot in the townships of Cape Town by sourcing Cast and Extras of any number, finding safe and film-friendly locations, protected by trained and affordable security.

 

Even without an official launch, we've managed to supply Extras, Cast and Locations to three prominent Production houses within two weeks of opening shop.  We believe we will make a substantial contribution to the industry and because we know what we're doing, guarantee to make a success of anything you throw at us.  

 

The Film Link is the birth-child of Phillip Ndoda Gqitiyeza, who works as a Scriptwriter and Assistant Director in the industry.  With nearly a decade in experience, Phillip wanted to bridge the gap by getting township acting talent and Extras onto movies, commercials and stage plays. It is something he is truly passionate about.  

 

His credentials include big features such as Safe House, Mad Max (Fury Road), The Labyrinth, Mad Dogs, Death Race and many more.  He has also worked on tens of commercials as both 2nd & 3rd AD. He also 1st AD’s on indie features and commercials and continues to make his mark in the film industry.  

 

Phillip spends most of his time penning Screenplays and has received internships from the Nfvf for his Screenplay entitled “Post Office”, which won in a category of 29 other South African writers. He is currently trying to get two of his scripts produced, albeit be it a slow and trying process itself.
