FORT Opens Cape Town Office

FORT, one of South Africa’s foremost films, commercials and digital content production companies, has announced that it will be opening new offices in Cape Town, South Africa—the city where the company was founded in 2006 by co-founders Shukri Toefy and Amr Singh, and until now, a customer base it has remotely serviced since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

“Opening up offices in Cape Town has always been a part of our medium-term plan, particularly with our rise in global relevance and partnerships. Cape Town is a world-class filmmaking destination, and it’s incumbent on us to have a real presence in one of the film capitals of the world,” said Shukri Toefy, co-founder of FORT. 

While FORT’s head office and main post-production facility will remain in Johannesburg, the company is excited to once again have a permanent presence on the ground in Cape Town, further establishing FORT as one of the leading production company on the African continent. “The decision to open new offices in Cape Town is exciting; until recently, we worked remotely with our Cape Town clients. Having a permanent home base means we can work more closely with our clients, deliver our services more intimately, and give them the full FORT experience” said Jade Mollett, digital content producer at FORT’s Cape Town office.

A Cape Town office will not only allow FORT to deliver digital content production services directly to Cape Town-based clients, but will provide these clients with access to FORT’s roster of directors. Craig February, executive producer at FORT said, “I’m truly excited about the prospect of being able to offer our Cape Town clients access to our directing talent, as well as to be able to deliver a world-class digital content production service through a team of on-the-ground content creators.” 

As the world readies itself for a borderless post-pandemic business climate, FORT remains confident in its role to bolster the economic recovery through film and content creation.
