Our Story:
Fade2Black is a 100% independent black-owned film production company. Established initially in 2010 as a vehicle to drive creative documentary film projects that are critical and thought provoking, we have re-envisioned our business in 2019 to produce creative film productions containing critical themes for audiences who don’t mind being challenged. Although there is a level of entertainment to our work, we strive to make films that also offer social commentary and lends itself to discussions that we hope will lead to positive social change. We have recently decided to take on client based work and are excited to grow this stream of our business. Fade2Black specialises in IMPACT VIDEOS. So, if you are an NGO, NPO or a corporate looking to convey an important message to your audience or market, or need help formulating your message, give us a call. We’re here to help.
