Cool Banana Productions is a Cape Town based service production company specialising in fashion and advertising stills shoots, TV commercials, and content production, serving photographers, agencies, and brands from around the world.

Founded in 2002 by Marc Beresford, Cool Banana has been built on a simple belief: that great productions run better when the right person is genuinely invested in every detail. Marc takes a hands-on approach on every job. No hand-offs, no middlemen, just direct, experienced production management from start to finish.

We handle everything: budgeting, travel, transport, casting, locations, permits, crew, equipment, catering, set dressing, and post-production. All managed with clarity and care so your creative team can focus on what they do best.

But beyond the logistics, we think great productions should actually be enjoyable. From the moment you land in Cape Town, you’re looked after. Comfortable, considered accommodation, access to the city’s best restaurants, a crew that shows up energised and ready. We take the experience as seriously as the work itself.

Cape Town is one of the world’s great shoot destinations, and we know it inside out. Diverse locations, outstanding value, and access to some of the most skilled and hard-working crew in the business. Whatever you’re shooting and wherever you need to go, we’ll get you there smoothly.
