“We had a vague recollection that a film called “Dust Devil” had shot here and the images we recalled were of vast dune-scapes. I clicked onto the internet and found the Namib Film website. The locations gallery had us hooked. We saw every vista we wanted, and all within an easy traveling distance from the well-resourced town of Swakopmund”.

“ In search of the wild landscapes and rolling deserts that GALLOWWALKER required, we’d scouted Mexico, China, Turkey and Spain. All these places paled into insignificance once we saw what Namibia had to offer”. “Namib Films responded immediately to our enquiries, sending us information on every aspect of production. We were rapidly able to rough out a comparison budget and the potential savings of shooting in Namibia were clear”.

“ Namib Films has been a strong production partner and has assisted us at every stage to get the best from this amazing country”.

“ Above and beyond the practicalities of shooting here, the crew and cast have enjoyed the experience of living in Namibia. It still makes me smile as I drive to location, that out of my window is a running gaggle of ostriches. You just don’t get that back home in London…”

“ We hope that GALLOWWALKER is just the first of a trilogy. We look forward to returning to our Namibian home”.
(Joanne Reay – Producer Gallowwalker/Sheer Films)


“ We had a truly fantastic time which was due to all the hard work and effort you all put in to make sure every story we filmed was excellent rather than just ‘good’”.

“ ‘Flight of the Phoenix’ recently completed both principle, miniature and second unit photography entirely on location in the Republic of Namibia under the extremely capable and experienced auspices of Namib Film in the personage of Mr. Guy Nockels and his wonderful team … There would be no ‘Flight of the Phoenix’ without Guy Nockels and his Namib Film team … it’s as simple as that”.

“The majority of location shows I have done lose time in set up and finding crew, so it was a pleasure to move to a location, especially one as remote as Namibia, and hit the ground running without a hitch.
This level of professionalism was maintained throughout the five month shoot, and when shooting in what was unknown territory for us, the outstanding level of local knowledge displayed by Namib Film, gave us the peace of mind and security that is normally only acquired on home ground.”
(Andrew Menzies – Supervising Art Director “Flight of the Phoenix – USA)



“ Namib Film under the production leadership of Mr. Guy Nockels very successfully completed the Fox Studio shoot “Flight of the Phoenix”. Sasani Film as the South African post production facility house worked closely with them to ensure the delivery of quality dailies.
It was a wonderful experience working with them and I would recommend the use of their production talent to all international and local film crews.”
(Nerissa Black – GM Sasani Film – South Africa)
