Welcome to Studio Haddock
“At Studio Haddock, storytelling is at the heart of everything I do. I don’t just make videos; I work to capture stories in a way that feels real and meaningful, bringing out the essence of each brand I work with. With years of experience as a filmmaker and creative director, I founded Studio Haddock here in Cape Town to create content that connects with people on a deeper level—leaving a lasting impression and adding true value to your brand.”
