Built around the way a show works
Every production has its own footprint.
For more than 20 years, Protocol Support Services has worked with local and international film productions in South Africa. Our experience spans features, series, documentaries and commercials.
We start by listening to production and department heads, then shape the security plan around the locations, schedule, people and pace of each show. There is no one-size-fits-all deployment.
