The Vital Role of Premium Catering for Film Crews on Set

In the dynamic and demanding world of film production, the well-being and efficiency of the crew are paramount. South Africa’s film industry is burgeoning, with 155 films released in 2021 alone, a significant increase from 96 in 2020. Each of these productions relies on a dedicated team, with the average film employing approximately 276 crew members across various stages. These professionals often endure grueling schedules, with workdays extending beyond 12 hours

 The Demands of Film Production

Long hours on set are the norm, with many crew members working 14 to 16 hours daily. Such intensive schedules require sustained energy and focus, making proper nutrition not just a necessity but a critical component of a successful production.
