Global trends highlight a clear shift Content Supply needs from Streamers (Netflix, Amazon, Apple and Paramount) and budgetary pressure as we prepare for 2027.
Lack of supply of New and Original Content /IP coupled with the demand for more developed Content as opposed to just scripts. Increasing demand for independent films.
Production in Cape Town is uniquely positioned to directly counter many of studio executives’ Top 10 cost-controlling measures, by creating value through our incentive programs, extremely low cost base, non-unionisation of high quality crews, and weak currency to the USD
Furthermore, these factors create additional value for production, by allowing executives to mitigate measures 3 (shorter schedules) and 6 (fewer episodes) to ensure maximum production quality.
One group, three operating companies, a single creative pipeline.

Production services & infrastructure
Provides a high quality slate of productions to feed into both NV Film Services and NVFSA, guaranteeing consistent revenue and justifying studio development and expansion.
Highly scalable and capable of facilitating significantly more productions on an annual basis. This slate increases revenue, negotiating power with suppliers, and adds production credits to an industry heavily reliant on referral and reputation.
The physical base and infrastructure of each production. South Africa has a dearth of studio infrastructure, positioning NVFSA and our fast-tracked infrastructure rollout as a critical cog in the growth of the regional industry.
Autumn Bailey's 2026+ slate of pre-developed IP becomes captive volume for NV Film Services — no speculative bookings.
NV Film Services delivers ABE's slate with the South African 30% rebate, FX advantage, and on-the-ground execution.
NV Film Studios Africa hosts the production, capturing stage revenue at high utilisation underwritten by the slate.

NV Film Studios Africa is a premier film production studio located on the picturesque Lourensford Wine Estate in Cape Town, South Africa. With cutting-edge facilities, 10,000 acres of on-site natural backlots, world-class production capabilities, and a strategic location in one of the most sought-after film destinations in the world, NV Film Studios Africa is poised to become a leading force in the African and global film industry.
The Western Cape production economy has scale players in each individual layer — but no integrated competitor. AfriNova's moat is the combination, not any single asset.

AfriNova is the only player in the region operating across all three layers — and integration itself is the moat. Each capability strengthens the others; replicating one is hard, replicating all three is structurally implausible.
Script to screen — under one roof
What follows is the physical foundation of the AfriNova proposition — 118,000 sq ft of stage space, 10,000 acres of natural backlot, on-site hospitality, and clean-energy infrastructure. But the facilities aren't the investment thesis on their own. They're the infrastructure that lets the rest of the Group compound.
Every Autumn Bailey International production filmed at NV Film Studios Africa captures the 30% SA rebate, the rand FX advantage, and on-site hospitality at Erinvale — cutting production cost 30–40% vs. UK or US equivalents. That margin flows straight to slate ROI.
In a market where stage scarcity is the #1 production bottleneck, NV Film Services can guarantee what competitors cannot: stage space on demand. Owned infrastructure converts every NVFS pitch into a stronger close.
10,000 acres and 7 sound stages at Lourensford are contractually secured and not reproducible in the region. This is the moat — and the group structure is what monetises it across three revenue streams instead of one.
Read the next sections as infrastructure in service of the Group — every square foot, every acre, every kilowatt is monetised three ways: ABI slate ROI, NVFS booking conversion, NVFSA stage revenue.
7 owned sound stages at Lourensford Estate, with construction workshops, storage and production offices — 40km from Cape Town International Airport.
Mountains, forests, vineyards, dams and farmland — contractually secured and not reproducible in the region. The asset competitors can't replicate.
On-site solar generation powers much of the studio complex — a sustainable, forward-thinking production environment for the world's biggest partners.
Let's build the pipeline together.
