Post house The Syndicate takes big steps with new space, growing team and top producer

Over the past year, The Syndicate has evolved from a solo-led edit suite into a fully-fledged post-production house with serious weight behind it. Now operating from a new space in Joburg on 4th Avenue in Parkhurst, with Gugu Radebe on board as producer and three additional editors on the roster, and a newly launched website, the company can confidently take on full post from offline through to grade, online, animation and sound. For a team that’s been heads-down building, that’s quite a lot to drop on the industry in one go.

Meet South Africa’s Cannes Lions Judges 2024

Being selected as a judge at Cannes is a massive achievement. It’s a testament to the respect the industry has for you on an international scale. We know that while a lot of us will be basking in the glitz and canapes Cannes has to offer, these judges will be toiling away in dark rooms, sifting through all the entries to identify the most outstanding work the world has to offer. Not to mention the Cannes Lions Shortlist judges who already had to work overtime and in between their own pitches back home! We see you, and we salute you.
