about

dare is a production service based in Cape Town, South Africa that is driven by the philosophies of radical transparency and radical collaboration. 

 what is radical transparency? 

radical transparency refers to being completely open and honest about the true costs and total savings involved in the production of content.

​

we believe that when everyone is aware of the costs involved in a project, they are better able to make informed decisions and work together more effectively.

 

for example, if a production team knows exactly how much money they have to work with and where money is being saved, they can make more informed decisions about how to allocate savings in the most effective way possible to increase production value.

​

in addition to increasing production value, radical transparency can also help build trust and enforce accountability between production companies, suppliers, crew, agencies and clients.

 

by being completely open and honest about true costs and total savings, you can be confident that there are no hidden costs or ulterior motives involved in the production process.

​

overall, the concept of radical transparency is designed to create a more open and collaborative production process.

​

this helps us build a more accountable and fair industry.

at dare, we don't believe in exclusive representation. we don't represent directors, photographers, or cinematographers.

 

we strive to push boundaries in order to create an industry where creatives can work with whoever they want, whenever they want. no strings attached.

​

for every project dare taps into its diverse network of creatives to assemble the best possible team based on a project's scope, budget, timeline and location. 

 

radical collaboration promotes the freedom of creatives working together to bring their unique perspectives and expertise to a project to produce the best possible content.

 

radical collaboration drives creativity, competition, innovation, quality and fair compensation whilst creating more opportunities for new talent to emerge.
