Meet the Team

As with all organizations, the Film Lab’s greatest assets are its people. Coming from a diversity of cultural and educational backgrounds, we are as mixed and interesting a group as any in the "Rainbow Nation." However, we are strongly banded together behind the idea that working as a team, we can ensure the best possible level of client service.

First contact with the Film Lab will introduce you to the:

Production Office

The Production Office is headed up by Fiona Fenton (fiona@filmlab.co.za).

Fiona came to us from a Television Production background, she was a freelance producer for several years, and she also produced a music channel on DSTV for a couple of years.

Features

Led by Anja Drummond (anjad@filmlab.co.za) Anja graduated from Savonlinna Art School in Finland, she worked in various photographic labs in South Africa for a time, was a senior telecine colorist and digital transform supervisor at The Video Lab, Johannesburg. This job included transfer and grading of dailies as well as final grades on feature films, documentaries and commercials. The position later developed into supervision of digital transfers of commercials and feature film special effects onto film when the process started in South Africa.

In 2005 April, Anja joined The Film Lab, Johannesburg as a film colour grader. Anja has really been an asset to the Film Lab in bridging that gap between film and the digital world.
