Testimonials

The system is fantastic. It allows us great presentation options, while also building our own internal database. It makes it easy for us to create shortlist presentations with an even more professional edge.

Martin Jacobson · Moonlighting Filmmakers, Cape Town.

DNA is a Los Angeles based production company and we brought a Kohl's Department Store project to South Africa for several reasons, but mainly casting and of course the weather. The Kohl's client shoots 5 very large campaigns every year around the world and has strong organizational demands. Casting is crucial. When I first received Filmit's website with our initial casting, I was thrilled with the incredible clarity and ease of navigation. The director called me and had the same reaction, and better yet, the agency & clients had the same positive feedback. I have never had such a great response during pre-production and it was something that helped everyone relax and work through the job comfortably. Harms has set a new standard for the casting process and I hope to introduce Filmit to all casting directors I work with in all countries. On top of everything, Harms is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Jane Thomson · DNA, Los Angeles

Filmit is a researchers’ and production dream tool – fast, adaptable and user-friendly. The depth and level of information that can be housed within the system is mind boggling (and life saving!). No other database software on the market comes close to achieving what can be done with Filmit.

Ian Nivison · Collective Energy, Cape Town.

I’d like to take this opportunity of belatedly congratulating you on the Locations Database Management system that you’ve designed and set up for the Film Hub – at last one that works in practice rather than just in theory. Well done, it’ll shortly no doubt be the industry standard!

Oliver Nurock · Reel Africa, Cape Town.

I use Filmit as my in-house database. Image material reaches us in various ways. The system simply deals with all this image input and saves us the hassle. It enables us to do »type« searches on all available models that we have come across in the past at the click of a button. Its fast and intuitive way to add details into the database, produces excellent search results.

Dirk Molsen · Dirk Molsen Productions (DMP), Cape Town.

It is now the norm that clients expect a quick on-line response to an enquiry. We would not be able to do that without Filmit. It is fast, user-friendly, with easy retrieval. The system has the ability to sort and save large amounts of images which has been invaluable in streamlining and digitizing our very large location database. Harms is fantastic – supportive and always interested to know how we can work together to enhance the system to suit our needs. I wish we had started sooner!

Sharyn Knight · Rolling Pictures, Cape Town.

I like the system. We did not want to compromise on anything that we had built up over the years. Filmit greatly streamlined producing our presentations, without ever forcing us into concessions. What I also like is the continuous development of the system, which keeps me ahead of things.

Rae Goodwin · Casting Spells, Cape Town.

I expected a sound database solution for my castings, and that is what this system delivers. What I did not expect is its incredible speed. Even if we have really big jobs, it is now one person who does what three used to do. What also saves us a great deal of time: We now get multiple copies of a presentation - recent or from the past - by means of a mouse click.

Andy Davis · The Casting Studio, Cape Town.

We used the Filmit system this past season and in retrospect could not imagine how we managed without it previously! Filmit gives us beautiful presentations and the more we use it the more efficient it becomes. It is super user-friendly and we have received nothing but positive feedback regarding its presentation.

Janet Meintjes · Traffik Studio, Cape Town.

Filmit was invaluable to us on our feature project 10,000 BC. After searching the software solutions in this area, it proved to be the most flexible and economical solution for us. We needed to use one mobile database, which was searchable and could facilitate the pictures of thousands of extras that were cast on the project, We really pushed the program very hard, over a long period, and were reliant on it as an organization and information centre. What impressed me most of all with the Filmit system however, was the dedication of the developer Harms after the Software had been bought, not only his endless patience, but his organic approach and flexibility to change the program where possible to suit what we needed. Thank you Harms!

Mito Skellern · Catalyst Casting, Cape Town.

Filmit has revolutionised our whole presentation package. Suddenly we’ve entered the 21st century. The speed with which we can get our presentations out is astounding, and so simple to use. Our clients love it. The most important factor is the after sales service from Harms Moeller. He is ready with advice any time of the day. The problem is always human error - Filmit does not make mistakes. Thank you Harms! I am a Filmit junkie.
