Rocket Films Africa offers a boutique film production service, centred around a hands-on client service. When we started nine years ago, we made the decision to stay compact and focused, and we have grown a small but loyal client base, carefully built through repeat work and word of mouth recommendation. We have extensive experience across the whole film production process. From commercials and long form to documentaries, reality TV & stills. We offer a dedicated production service and the team moves heaven and earth to provide a quick turnaround with competitive budgeting and world class service from pre-production to recon.
We are passionate about film making, and it is this energy, along with close relationships, which keep our clients coming back and referring us to others.
"I have been working with Debbie Cornell for over 16 years now and her expertise and wealth of local knowledge has made every production in Cape Town a wonderful experience. We have asked her for a cast of a 1,000, kids that can perform stunts and rollerblading grannies, and nothing is a problem. The care and attention to detail is what has made us return year after year.”
Kai Hsiung – MD, RSA Films UK
“For me Rocket is the couture answer to service production, it provides a unique service tailored for the requirements of that particular director and script with both creative flair and added value, it is a true "one off" and for me that is the secret of its extraordinary success. It has created its own formula through the producing passion and expertise of Debbie Cornell and that for me gives it an unrivalled edge amongst its peers.”
Helen Hadfield – Executive Producer, Bare Films UK
“Nobody does it better. Simple as that. Debbie Cornell is the most committed, diplomatic, trustworthy and hands-on line producer I know – with tremendous integrity. Every single job with her is a massive pleasure and privilege. She also has a raucous laugh that is employed frequently.”
Joanna Bailey - Director, Bare Films UK
