NICE CANS.
We are a 51% minority owned business (Level 2 BBBEE)
Flattery Films is a new production company with offices in
Cape Town, Amsterdam and Dubai.
Strategically global, we are in an open relationship with our directors, representing independent international talent, and offering locations and budget solutions between Europe, Africa, USA and the Middle East.
WE LOVE YOUR WORK.
When asked which brands do we want to work with, Liquid Death is always at the top of the list.
The lack of corporate hang-ups and abundance of motivation to make cool shit is crystal clear.
It's hard to stand out amongst the noise of mediocre brands and advertising, but you're doing a great job of it. It's not just stand-out, it's smart too.
And that's not just flattery.
WHAT WE
CAN DO
FOR YOU.
We're tired of the same-old, safe briefs, so let's make our own.
We want to make something a bit wild, something out-there, something that's actually just fun.
And we couldn't think of anyone better to do it for than Liquid Death.
But instead of going out there and mindlessly making a spec that may not fit in with your strategy or feel, we thought it would be best to hear your thoughts first.
So let's chat. Our directors, Rob Smith (Head of Creative for us), and Lee Hempstock (who is also a notorious Creative Director), would love to work with you and our producers to make something contained from a production level, but unhinged on a creative level.
SOME PRETTY OUT-THERE WORK WE LOVE:
RELIABLE
PRODUCTION SUPPORT.

Andrew brings 18-years of experience of advertising production with leading global creative agencies such as Droga5, 72andSunny, Crispin Porter Bogusky, Saatchi and Saatchi, 180LA, and DeutschLA. The journey has taken him from LA, Miami, NYC, Rio de Janeiro, Surfers Paradise Australia and, currently, Amsterdam.
His dedication to elevating creative craft has led him to shoot with some of the world's pre-eminent directors. Career highlights range from 4x Super Bowl spots, shooting China's Olympic athletes for their 70th anniversary, a reality tv show about sausages, to a US presidential campaign.
Projects under his guidance have earned recognitions such as multiple Cannes Lions (including a coveted Titanium), One Show awards, Clio Awards, D&AD honors, Webby Awards, and an Australian Logie.
Andrew dreams of one day having a small property of surf bungalows in Indonesia with his wife and daughter, but so far hasn't convinced them that this is their dream too.
