According to South African film producer Anant Singh of Videovision Entertainment, the signing of the co-production treaty between South Africa and the UK formalises the process of co-productions between the countries, opening up new avenues of financial support and allowing SA to benefit from the UK's very diverse and comprehensive pool of expertise and skills. "We are confident that [this] will result in the transfer of skills to our filmmaking community. We have seen the success of co-production treaties with Australia and Canada and we anticipate that this treaty... will result in several hundred millions of rand of additional production activity in South Africa," says Singh.
