THE COMPANY

Get the Picture is an independent production company based in Cape Town with an ongoing quest to tell engaging human-interest stories. The company's output is high-quality South African films and television programmes that are entertaining, commercially viable and relevant to local and international markets.

Film and television has been identified as one of the most important industries for economic growth in South Africa and particularly the Western Cape. Cape Town is therefore the ideal venue for shooting international films as it offers a wide selection of spectacular locations, very capable technical crews and a sound infrastructure.

Staying in touch with an ever changing environment, Get The Picture aims to focus on human interest programmes that will be entertaining, yet using low to medium budgets. These programmes will range from short films, documentaries and dramas, to feature films.

Get the Pictures is led by Jacky Lourens, who has built up an extensive network of loyal and experienced freelance staff.
Both individuals and companies can be engaged on a project-to-project basis. This modus operandi keeps overheads attractively low and ensures that services provided are tailored for each project's needs.
