Dark Matter Studios is a British film and television production company founded in November 2012 by Henk Pretorius and Llewelynn Greeff. Dark Matter Studios produces original content in multiple formats, including film, serial and episodic television and animation.
Background
Henk Pretorius and Llewelynn Greeff met in 2012 in London through a mutual friend and decided to team up and start their own production company, Dark Matter Studios
History
In 2012 Henk co-founded the multi-national company Dark Matter Studios with Llewelynn Greeff. To further the company's vision of creating wealth through content, a team of writers was commissioned to develop both feature film and television properties for North America.
Combining their collective knowledge and experience, Henk and Llewelynn knew that Dark Matter Studios would become a content provider with an edge and the constant adaption required by this growing industry.
Henk and Llewelynn mapped out their long-term vision of becoming a world-leading content provider with the emphasis on an actual value chain from script to screen and into the world of entertainment. By immersing themselves entirely in the film industry both in the USA and UK, they both very quickly discovered what it takes to make commercial films that can sustain the value of the IP and be monetised throughout the world across all mediums.
Dark Matter Studios has co-produced the films Bakgat 3 and Wolwedans in die Skemer. Since pairing up the duo has also produced the South African Box Office Hit Leading Lady (film), Multi-Award-Winning Blood and Glory (Modder En Bloed) and most recently their latest production in the UK titled The Unfamiliar.
