Scholars Film is a fully-fledged production company producing short and long form film content, providing a full range of production services from concept to delivery.

We believe the most powerful way to communicate is through storytelling. As storytellers, there’s no better place to be than Africa, a continent as beautiful as it is fascinating. While we strive to create work that’s authentically rooted in Africa, it’s equally important to us that it has a global reach, which means that the foundation of a Scholar’s film is a powerful narrative, packaged in technical excellence.

Our film directors, Greg Lomas and Colwyn Thomas, founded Scholars and have created a culture of care and attention to each and every aspect of projects they direct; maintaining the high standards of Scholars output and experience. Whilst we regularly produces commercial content a vital pillar of our company is work with social impact – this allows us to attain international standards of production above the service providers needs, and hopefully for a greater good.

Our core team works consistently with a network of incredible crew across the African continent. We’re hands-on, mobile and highly adaptable, often producing globally-recognised content with small, versatile teams.

Whilst based in South Africa we have produced work across the continent including Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo and the D.R.C as well as further afield in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Brazil, Switzerland, the U.K., Belgium and the U.S.A.
