(stories make the world go round)
Ntintili Factory is a film, television and digital media production house.
We collaborate with dynamic creative teams, broadcasters, streamers and brands.
We specialize in developing, producing and training in world class storytelling. We create it, build it, deliver it and pay it forward.
Authentic African stories that resonate with local and global audiences is why we're in this business.
Post-its
Because we truly believe that stories make the world go round. So does gravity and inertia. But also, stories.

Saturday School is open!
(can't wait to meet you!)
10 Weeks, 10 Workshops, to elevate your writing game.
We designed Saturday School specifically for professionals and students who cannot take workshop classes during the week and have requested to further their story development knowledge. Each workshop is a small, interactive class of between 10-20 students and aimed at focusing on one key aspect of story development per class. You can take one class or take them all, it's up to you! Our first semester of classes is in person in Johannesburg, but we will be taking our workshops to other provinces in Spring and Summer.
