Egg Films started in 1998 as a ‘two man’ operation based in Cape Town. Through a philosophy of creating innovative and conceptually-driven work, partners Colin Howard and Kim Geldenhuys built a reputation for producing award-winning commercials.
Within a short time, Egg had established itself as an industry leader, picking up a slew of local and international accolades along the way. Egg is a regular inclusion in The Gunn Report’s ‘Most Awarded Production Companies of the World’ feature.
With offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Egg represents a strong roster of local and foreign-based directors, as well as Humanoid, a collective of filmmakers. Egg has expanded beyond advertising, exploring documentaries and music videos, as well as developing feature films.
Today, Egg has cemented a reputation for outstanding work, with a hands-on Service department that extends Egg’s core principles of innovative, creative work to a wide range of visiting international production companies, shooting in Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands.
