Green Door Pictures

SST
Green Door Pictures is working with The Sustainable Seas Trust to produce a series of educational films relating to the east coast of Africa

Vultures
There are a handful of concerned people who place the health and well being of our earth before those of their fellow men. Green Door Pictures is in development of a natural history film exploring one of those people as she strives to save the endangered vultures of Southern Africa.

Tuine & Tossels
Green Door Pictures is responsible for the shooting and the directing of Tuine & Tossels, this popular show is broadcast on DSTV channel 111. This very popular programme is a continuation of a garden show that has been on air since 2002.

Seahorse
Green Door Pictures produced a short wildlife documentary on the endangered seahorse Hippocampus Capensis. This species of seahorse is endemic to the Knysna estuary in South Africa and have an extremely small population count.

Sharks
Towards the end of January 2009 a small group of scientists from Marine Coastal Management and the South African Shark Conservancy teamed up with some fishermen to test a long-standing fishermen’s tail of huge sharks in the Breede River.

A week later they had not only confirmed that tail, they made history with two world records. The first was size; the female Zambezi shark (Carcharhinus leucas) they caught measured a tad over 4 meters in length and weighed in at well over half a ton. The second was that it represented the most south-westerly distribution of Zambezi sharks in Africa.

“Why are Zambezi sharks in the Breede River?” Zambezi sharks are thought to be a partially estuarine-dependent elasmobranch species found in tropical and sub-tropical waters off the Eastern coast of Africa.

Green Door Pictures is currently producing a magazine type show aimed at the South African diving fraternity. As this show will be broadcast on digital satellite it will be seen throughout Africa.

Research is underway on an aquatic wildlife series. There are a number of unique plants and animals along the South African coast and each of them has a wonderful story to tell.

Frogs
In the town of Chrissiesmeer in the Northern Province of South Africa, Green Door Pictures documented a frog hunt. Each year the locals spend an evening collecting as many frogs as they can in the surrounding pans and waterways. The frogs are then identified, counted and returned unharmed to where they were collected. Frogs are an important indicator species as to the condition of the environment.
