The Film & Event Media Wrap Party, an industry networking event for producers and suppliers being held on location at Roodebloem Studios for the second year running on November 29th. This strictly RSVP event will be a ‘fiesta’ to remember!…
The one thing we all dread when going to a film shoot in a remote location or large event is what the ablutions are going to be like. Even though all our studios have toilet facilities we may are expecting hundreds of people so we’ve called in WOSHBOX who specialise in providing top quality toilets and service to the film and events industry. Their units are clean, easy to transport, operate off solar power and have a special chemical formula that keeps them smelling fresh, even after frequent use.
WOSHBOX units are light and easy to transport and our factory in Cape Town is conveniently located in Woodstock, with easy access to the freeway. Being solar-powered means that the units run efficiently without needing to be charged or pumped out while you’re busy on a job. The units are clean and our efficient team ensures that they are kept in tip-top shape.
Their toilets work harder for longer, needing fewer call-outs and less chemistry. The units are a popular choice amongst event managers who appreciate our creative design flair and the guarantee that our units can cope with frequent use. The toilet’s hands-free operation and eco-friendly chemicals, make it a more hygienic and pleasant smelling option.
There are also additional options like
These days photography seems to be all about megapixels and sensor sizes but we’re winding back the film with Orms and this Lomographic Diana F+ Medium Format Camera. A new twist on the cult classic 60’s Diana camera, the Diana F+ produces dreamy, radiant, lo-fi images on 120 film.
This limited edition Diana F+ “Qing Hua” in blue and white has been lovingly decorated with vintage elements and traditional Chinese influences (known as Qing Hua Ci), in a collaboration with designer-illustrator Dorophy Tang.
One lucky winner at our Fiesta Wrap Party will be

Tell’s, an exciting new cider from Stellen Fine Wines is set to take on the big boys in the South African cider market.
The 6% ABV off-dry thirst-quencher is named after William Tell, the expert marksman of Swiss legend who shot an apple off his son’s head with a crossbow, to save them both from execution at the hands of an Austrian tyrant whose hat they had refused to bow to.
“We admire the brave, stick-it-to-the-man spirit of William Tell, and like him, we’re standing up for what we believe,” says Rudolph du Toit, national marketing manager for the company. “We’re not just selling an artfully crafted, refreshing cider; we’re introducing a green-friendly, planet-conscious and far more convenient packaging option to the cider market.”

“Don’t say it, drink it” – so reads the label of the new wine range from Elgin Valley Vineyards; probably good advice since the name – Red Lorry and Yellow Lorry – is derived from a classic tongue twister.
Red Lorry and Yellow Lorry began with a story about a faithful little lorry that went chugging up the mountain to fetch grapes from the Elgin Valley, to make wine at the Red & Yellow Lorry Wine Factory; this lead the owners, Ian and Anette Corder, to consider a less serious wine as a break from the business of boutique production.
