BUTTERFLY FILMS
CAPE TOWN / BERLIN
We're a Cape Town-based full service film and stills production company for commercials, content, music videos, documentaries and corporate films.
Common sense is our guiding principle. We're nimble and adaptable. We can scale up where others can't scale down. We find ways to be better, smarter, more effective. Whether it's a car commercial or a crazy documentary that only you know what it's about – we're here for you.
Since 2009, we’ve collaborated with a wide range of global ad agencies, brands, broadcasters, artists, and production companies, creating all kinds of sophisticated content all over the globe. With offices in Cape Town and Berlin, we build a bridge between the European market and South Africa as a world class film production destination. But we've also shot with Americans in Madagascar and with Lebanese in Ghana. And in Mexico. And in the Phillipines. And in more than 40 other countries.
At Butterfly Films we believe that success begins with trust. And trust is earned with open communication, reliability and transparency. Hence, we treasure relationships – with our clients, our collaborators, and with our crews

The butterfly effect, as I found it, was the polar opposite of chaos. The approach was cathectic; each problem was solved with confidence and clear thinking. Bravo Butterfly.
I will be back!
"We had such a lovely time, it was so well organised and I appreciate all the hard work Butterfly Films put into making it happen. India was also super made up with everything, she loved Cape Town and I suspect she'll be back."
"The on-site team was extremely flexible and competent to overcome unforeseen challenges. Their professional approach, combined with in-depth expertise, a global mindset and clever pre-planning, helped to ensure that our project was completed successfully."
