Company helping the East to meet the West

While Chinese businesses coming to Namibia are nothing new, Hunan Satellite TV, the second most-watched channel in China, second only to CCTV-1 owned by China Central Television, recently concluded filming parts of a reality television series in Namibia.The production, which first saw the team visit Namibia during a scouting trip for a few days in December of last year, and now locations such as Harnass Wildlife Foundation east of Gobabis and Deadvlei near Solitaire in the south of Namibia are part of the filming locations around the world. These include countries such as Brazil, South Africa and Australia Hunan Satellite TV wrapped filming locally in March. According to Mr Guy Nockels, Executive Producer of Namib Film, throughout the very challenging production, the visiting film crew had a chance to see the stunning scenery and travel on the incredible road network which makes Namibia a favourite film destination for European television stations and large Hollywood studios.Namib Film sees great potential in developing this new partnership with Hunan Satellite Television and believes that once other Chinese filmmakers see what Namibia and local film companies such as Namib Film and its sister company Magic Touch Films has to offer, and hears of the professional services offered, there would definitely be more productions moving in.Staff reporter
