The brief
The AB InBev project required a rural South African production that international partners could follow and contribute to remotely. Gatehouse worked with Revolt, director Frederick Paxton and Academy Films to facilitate a workflow suited to location-based filming and remote collaboration.
Gatehouse’s approach
The service-production model combined local location knowledge with a remote-streaming setup. This gave the partners outside South Africa visibility into the production while the on-the-ground team handled the practical realities of filming in a rural environment. Gatehouse’s role was to make the distance feel manageable through clear coordination and a well-connected local process.
The outcome
The completed job shows how international commercial production can remain collaborative even when key stakeholders are not physically present. By supporting both the rural setting and the remote production workflow, Gatehouse helped Academy Films and the wider team maintain creative connection throughout the shoot. The case highlights the company’s ability to combine location facilitation with flexible production technology.
