Vanessa Frost

Mom | Gardening Novice | Red Wine Enthusiast

Head of Creative

When the lights dim in a theatre and the audience takes in that collective breath of antici…pation, anything can happen, anything is possible, a story is about to come alive and Vanessa’s heart beats a bit faster. Vanessa has walked the boards of almost every theatre in South Africa and a few boards abroad. She has moved audiences, made them think differently, made them sing along, stand, weep, wait and roll in the aisles. She knows what it is to have an audience of thousands in the palm of her hand for a full ninety minutes and the responsibility that brings. Big, crazy, brave ideas come easily, you'll never have to eeek them out of her but you may ask her to hold back… just a little bit.

With a solid foundation in production and her magnetic energy, Zama thrives on bringing stories to life. Whether interviewing subjects for a film or holding a crowd on stage, her goal is always to exceed client expectations, inspire audiences and ensure every project delivered is a smash hit.

Terri Ella

Mom | Drummer | Photographer

Head of Production

Terri fell in love with storytelling in a dark room at school splicing VHS tapes together on an ancient analogue desk. With a keen eye for design, ear for music and love for cinematography, she has run, researched, written, shot, directed, edited and produced documentaries, theatre, digital campaigns, interactive brand experiences, branded content and unique events. Terri loves seeing the creative process through from concept to delivery and the exhilaration of feeling real impact in the work she does.
