Documentary
Co-Production Partner
in Africa.
The Schultz Creative is an established African documentary co-production partner for international networks, streaming platforms, and independent producers seeking authentic African stories told with world-class production craft.
Flexible structures
for every project.
Africa is one of the most compelling and underserved documentary territories in the world. From the Kalahari to the Serengeti, from Cape Town's townships to Lagos's megacity streets — the continent offers stories that global audiences have never seen told with the production quality they deserve.
We offer flexible co-production structures designed to work with international partners at every stage — from early development through to broadcast delivery. Our deep network of fixers, local producers, and crew across the continent means we can access stories and locations that others can't.

Service Production
We handle all South African and African production logistics for your project — crew, locations, permits, fixers, and post.

Post-Production Partnership
Bring your rushes to our Johannesburg facility for offline edit, colour grade, sound mix, and broadcast delivery.
Production access
across the continent.
