Founded in 2007 in Johannesburg, Ola! is one of the trusted names in short form film production in South Africa.
Home to a robust roster of highly experienced directors and producers with distinct yet complementary strengths and passions, we create compelling content for every platform from traditional TVCs and documentaries to digital content, music videos and stills campaigns.
Based in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and currently spreading our tentacles across Europe, Ola! Films offers a stable of hot young talent perfectly positioned to provide the fresh content today's market demands.
Executive Producer Brian Critchfield heads up our Production Services division.
Brian is a hands-on producer who likes nothing more than a spreadsheet to solve and some fancy toys to play with on set. Originally an accountant — so he has eyes on the money at all times — Brian’s years of producing for in-house directors mean that your jobs are treated with that personal touch. We have never been a production factory. It wont take you long after meeting this lovely man to know that you are in safe hands.
After many years of working internationally as a commercials producer, Olivia decided it was time to head back to the motherland. No sooner had she set up shop at Ola!Films, than the phone started ringing with calls from former clients, bereft of that special Olivia magic. So for a series of happy international clients who keep coming back, Olivia has wrangled penguins, repurposed shipping vessels, magicked helicopters and generally done exactly what she and Ola!Films do best - make love out of nothing at all.
