Australian/SA production alliance to produce intl documentaries
Okuhle Media, based in Cape Town, has entered into an agreement to co-develop and produce a range of content across the factual spectrum for the international market with Australian-based production company WTFN Entertainment, headquartered in Melbourne.
WTFN has produced Bondi Vet, Tony Robinson's London Games Unearthed and The Living Room. Okuhle Media is best known for daily live youth show Hectic Nine-9, documentary feature Glittterboys and Ganglands and documentary series Bornfrees.
WTFN's head of international co-production, Shaun Gilmartin, said, "A strategic global alliance like this makes absolute sense. Each production house will gain detailed inside knowledge of the other's territory and, by pooling in-house development talent, it can only strengthen the creative process."
Joint CEO & executive producer for Okuhle, Louise van Hoff added, "We are very excited about this partnership. Both companies share a passion for compelling storytelling that we are looking forward to exploring, through the development of new productions. Sharing knowledge and talent can only help to strengthen both companies' global footprint."
Both companies will attend MIPCOM this October.
