PG & the african attachment (independent film production)


The African Attachment (taa for short) is an independent film production house based out of Cape Town, South Africa. Dean Leslie and Greg Fell are the founding fathers of this awesome creative house, proving that South Africa has many talents in the film industry. For those who don't know, Purple Gorilla has been in South Africa for the past month, touring and helping out at the African Attachment.

TAA have done many music videos for major South African Rock bands like aKING, Ashtray Electric, The Dirty Skirts and The Parlotones. They're also doing a documentary on Ryan Sandes called "Wandering Fever" that will take you on a journey around the world like you've never seen before! And lets not forget The African Attachment also helped out on District 9, working alongside Neill Blomkamp & Sharlto Copley.

PG will be in South Africa for one more month, working with taa on the new Thieve - Heuwels Fantasties music video. We'll also be working with Ashtray Electric... more details to come!!
