Shooting

With Pontact’s extensive experience and contacts, we do our best to ensure you a successful and memorable shoot.

Come with a historical or period script, we will find the original places where the story took place, and match them with great locations (Nowhere in Africa and Die Weisse Massai).
We can construct sets to bring your scripts to life. We built a replica of George Adamson’s Kora Camp in Shaba for To Walk with Lions.
We have thought out and arranged exciting and hilarious challenges for Reality shows (VOL920 and Occupation Double), and we are masters of comedy (Kazakh Business in Africa, Tolo Tolo, and others).

My secret weapon was Jenny Pont, our Kenyan Production Coordinator.... She found our excellent professional crew, and had for every and any problem a solution, or knew somebody to assist and help us.... I would be very happy to find such a team anywhere in the world.

Thank you and your team for hanging in there when things got tough and for helping make sure we got everything we needed and our shoot was a great success. Everyone on our Kenya team worked extremely hard and long hours, and my gratitude and appreciation go out to all of them. Thank you also for keeping a calm oversight over all the craziness!

Josh Bennett

Producer, Show of Force

Pontact Productions and especially Jenny and James, have proven once again how much they know their stuff and how easy they make everything. They helped us greatly in pre-production with putting us in touch with the right people and they were able to facilitate every aspect of our shoot. It is the third time we’ve worked with them while filming shows, from a 3 people crew to a 25 people crew they showed the same quality of work. They respected our budget. They are nice to their own crew and are very respectful of the environment they are in. If we could have such local allies at all our locations, our lives would be much easier.

Carine Sansregret

Productions Occupation Double

Jenny possesses an admirable temperament and is more than able to cope with any emergency or crisis that happens to come her way. She has an unfailing ability to create calm in the midst of confusion and yet possesses qualities of authority and diplomacy quite rare in the hustle and bustle of modern film making.

Mountains of the Moon

I've got a distinct feeling those will be remembered as our best two days. Thanks to EVERYONE - the footage looks gorgeous - the giant prawns were giant and we all had a spendid time.

Richard Curtis

Writer/Director

Love Actually

I have very happy memories of filming in Kenya, not least the joy of that first shot in Mamburi when we called for quiet and every member of the crew slipped sweetly and efficiently into their role ~ like water for a dry thirst after the chaos of Ghana.

The Dying of the Light

On behalf of MTV and the entire "Road Rules" crew, I would like to thank you for your invaluable assistance in making our shoot in Kenya a great success.

We especially want to thank you for coordinating our visa and for hooking us up with John Mbugua, who couldn't of been nore helpful! You were both so incredibly accomodating during our production and our entire experience in Kenya was one in which moved both our cast and crew.

Your contribution to Celtel made the commercial as beautiful as it is. Thank you for making our trip to Kenya unforgettable.

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you and your team put into the shoot last week for Comic Relief. I really enjoyed the shoot and that is largely thanks to the way that you and Mary worked so closely and neatly together to make everything run so smoothly.
