You need a producer

We all know the importance of a well run project. You may find yourself needing a producer to guarantee the success of your project. Those Production Girls have a solution for you!

We Take The Brief

Expect questions about the content, the client, the existing team, the budget and the timeline. This helps us identify who from our team is your perfect match

You Meet Your Team

We will put together a proposal for you which outlines our approach to managing your project, our recommended team, and the cost of our services

We will draw up a service level agreement between TPG and your company. Our producers remain employed by us and we handle all their contractual, administrative and payroll needs.

We Do The Paperwork

We Offer

Your ultimate insurance & assurance. We guarantee the successful completion of your production by ensuring that your projects are supervised by a senior producer at all times.
If your production encounters a complex challenge along the way or you have reason to believe that your project will benefit from additional skills or expertise, we direct all of our resources to fill the gaps, with our executive management team at the helm. We ensure you have the peace of mind knowing that your project is in competent hands at all times
If your internal production team is at capacity and you find yourself needing to quickly put together a bid or manage a short term job or crisis - we can step in to fill the gap.
We also offer coverage for maternity leave or extended illness to keep your projects running smoothly .
You can rest assured that your production always has production management coverage as our collaborative approach to production management means that any one of our senior producers are available to step in should something happen that your assigned production manager is incapacitated.
We understand that no production team, organisation or project presents the same challenges.
We tailor training specifically for you by embarking on a journey with your team - looking at the specific needs and dynamics that exist and recommending a tailored training package that fits your organisation and budget.
Projects that are managed by us not only benefit from the expertise of the production personnel assigned to your project, but the expertise of the whole collective. If your project encounters a challenge that your production manager hasn’t come across; chances are someone in our hive already has the answer - leading to fast and innovative problem solving.
We continuously train our
team in the latest project management techniques; working within standard operating procedures and systems that are designed for maximum efficiency. Our producers adapt these to the teams that they manage and ensure the implementation of new management systems are accompanied with training within existing organisations.

Testimonials

Ariane Suveg

It has been such a pleasure to work with TPG on a South African animation production. The team lead by Kaya brings high skills, efficiency, dedication, and passion.
You’re in very good hands and in a safe space regarding the whole production process. Kaya’s team supports you very closely, searching and providing bespoke solutions.
So nice to collaborate in a smart way, but also have fun!
Barney Goodland

Those Production Girls have a huge amount of industry knowledge and animation production experience. Their attention to detail is incredible and so fine tuned that it benefits a project immediately. They're a joy to work with and have the rare ability to balance creative demands with the schedule and budget - essential for any high quality project. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or hire them!
Isabelle Rorke

The production management classes offered by Those Production Girls were nothing short of transformative for our interns. The curriculum was meticulously designed to cover all aspects of production management for the animation industry. Our interns not only gained valuable technical skills but also developed the confidence and leadership qualities necessary to excel.
Simon Quinn

"Having worked with Kaya on a couple of projects I can highly recommend her to any employer. She is a great communicator, has a sixth sense when looking ahead at potential production issues and is clear in her problem solving and reporting. Kaya understands production top to bottom and is focused on the delivery of quality shows but also has a keen eye on the budget so understands the tightrope we all walk getting towards a successful delivery. In short it’s a mistake not to hire her”.
Thina Lubbe

Working with Those Production Girls has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication to delivering are unparalleled. From our initial consultation to the final product, every step of the process was seamless and exceeded our expectations.
I wholeheartedly recommend Those Production Girls to anyone looking for a production company. I am looking forward to working with them on future projects.
Dianne Makings

"Kaya is that rare breed of producer that manages projects and people equally well. She always reaches the end of projects on budget, on time and with creative teams that are happy. She understands the technical aspects of the pipeline very well and as a result is a great problem solver and collaborator with tech leads and supervisors. Kaya is a leader in the animation industry and often speaks at the Cape Town International Animation Festival as one of our Experts”.
Tshepo Moche

"I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Kaya while I was writer and director on the Kizazi Moto anthology series. Working with Kaya is like working with your mother and sister all bundled into one extraordinary Producer! She's able to guide and action with a firm and steady production hand (mother) and nurture and support with empathy and understanding (sister). She has a unique understanding of how to manage a team that truly elicits the best out of everyone. No one 'crunch time' problem solves quite like Kaya, while still managing to make you feel like you have breathing space to stay creative.She is passionate, decisive and dedicated to the cause. She knows when to push and when to pull back without ever letting you step off the production course. I truly look forward to working with her again”.
Leanne Preston Cortez

"Kaya is a fantastic producer, one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with. She is smart, dedicated and an excellent problem solver. We worked together on an incredibly challenging and rewarding production and I could not have done it without her. . She would be a fantastic to my team”.
Darren Richard Hayward

"Kaya really is just one of those people that would rather stick pins in her eyes than fail on a project - she gets things done! She is process driven and meticulous in her approach to her work and a great team player...and motivator. I worked with Kaya when she was a Post-production Producer on several territories of The Voice (South Africa, igeria and Afrique Francophone) being shot and edited in South Africa and she was a valuable asset to the team, delivering a really high standard of work on global format show”.
James Frank (Bassingthwaighte)

"A dream to work with. Calm, collected, decisive and super-responsive. Being a supplier on large scary projects is daunting and I've always felt very appreciated, considered and supported under Kaya, which is all I could ask for from a producer."
