Sky Rink Studios offers a one-stop shop with channel hosting and live transmission capabilities. As part of the partnership, DISCOP will promote Sky Rink Studios facilities via tours, taking place during DISCOP, where producers will have the opportunity to visit the facilities. Sky Rink will also have space at DISCOP to showcase its various platforms and services.
Frank Mahopi, executive chairman of Sky Rink Studios, says, "As Sky Rink Studios we see this partnership as a great opportunity to showcase our facilities to the right target audience. Our high-tech facilities create a one stop shop located three blocks away from Downtown Music Studios in the City of Joburg’s Creative Corridor.
"The Sky Rink Studios and Downtown Music Studios present an immediate and effective solution for producers on the continent, and abroad, looking for production facilities that will meet their high tech needs," adds Mahopi.
DISCOP's Patrick Zuchowicki says, "DISCOP is committed to supporting the growth of content made in Africa. Producers, however, need facilities that understand and support them."
He adds, "We feel that Sky Rink Studios is just that kind of facility. We are excited to partner with them and share this valuable information with the hundreds of producers from across Africa who will be attending this year’s event. This kind of partnership is exactly where DISCOP aims to be as we continue to find ways to support the industry on the continent."
Sky Rink Studios stand can be found in the main exhibition hall at The Sandton Convention Centre, along with other players from the African and global film industry.
DISCOP Johannesburg starts on Wednesday, 25 October and runs daily through Friday, 27 October.
