After a number of years spent processing zoning and environmental requirements, Cape Town's first, fully fledged sound stage complex will be online. Welcome to the world of Cape Town Film Studios.

Responsible for the design, building and operation of the first high tech custom built world class film studio complex in South Africa. Took the Studio project from green fields to world leading and full capacity within 3 years of operation. Nico Dekker’s work and vision with the Studio was rated by the Head of the Producer’s Guild of America (PGA), Vance Van Petten, to be at the forefront of the world. Senior Executive decision makers from Paramount, Disney and Warner, rated the Studio as the best of its kind in the world. Was one of the few white Afrikaans speaking South Africans who withstood the apartheid regime and went into exile for his beliefs. Respected on national, local and provincial government level for the work he has done at the Studio and companies he managed before that. Productions that used Cape Town Film Studios has spent R1.7billion as direct production investments and employed more than 40 000 people during the first three years of operation. Nico is dealing with all tiers of government, producers and filmmakers from across the world, as well as a wide spectrum of the local film industry on a regular basis. The Studio, under leadership of Nico, has been rated in a survey by the Hollywood Reporter to be among the top ten facilities of its kind in the world outside of the US. South Africa’s leading and multi award winning Editor has been working for the company for 9 years. Nico co-founded Cinegate Africa in 2000 and it became within 2 years one of South Africa’s leading film equipment rental companies supplying high tech camera, lighting and grip equipment to local and international productions. The company provided a 24/7 service and assisted film productions across the whole of Southern Africa. Cinegate Africa became one of Nico’s first tenants on the back-lot of Table Mountain Motion Picture Studios. Nico was the CEO and co-owner of South Africa’s first successful film studio complex. Table Mountain Motion Picture Studios attracted 15 film related companies to settle on its premises and was the first financially viable studio complex of this nature in South Africa.

Some of the technological breakthrough achieved are now being used by companies like Easy-Look and others. The success of the Editing Café led to the formation of Cinegate Africa.
