We are a film production company in KwaZulu-Natal specialising in cinematic brand storytelling that elevates perception and drives real value.
From concept to final frame, we craft brand films, commercials, and documentaries that don't just look exceptional — they position your brand where it belongs. Our work has screened at international festivals and aired on Netflix, National Geographic, and SuperSport.
Combining award-winning storytelling with CAA-licensed drone and ground cinematography — including aerial, FPV, and underwater cinematography — we create powerful visual narratives designed for impact across KZN and South Africa.
Brand films, commercials, documentaries and event cinema — each crafted with the same intent as a feature film. Rooted in real KZN environments. Built to elevate the brands that refuse to be ordinary. Our productions have reached global audiences through Netflix, National Geographic, Warner Bros, SuperSport, M-Net, Discovery, and more.
SA CAA-licensed drone operators based in KwaZulu-Natal. From coastal brand campaigns along the KZN coastline to precision aerial surveys across Durban and beyond. FPV, long-range, and everything in between — with full regulatory compliance for commercial production across South Africa.
From the KZN coastline to the world's most prestigious film festivals — Hellmot Productions has earned its place among the finest storytellers in the industry. Over 20 awards across international festivals spanning London, Toronto, Montreal, Portland, and San Diego.
Timothy Hay leads Hellmot Productions — a full-service cinematic film production studio in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. With credits spanning international film festivals, global broadcast networks, and premium brand campaigns, Timothy brings a director's eye and a technician's precision to every project.
Based in KZN since 2018, Hellmot Productions serves brands, agencies, and broadcasters across South Africa and internationally — delivering corporate video production, aerial drone cinematography, documentary filmmaking, and underwater film with consistent, award-winning quality. Equally at home in a studio, on a Durban beach, or threading an FPV drone at 120km/h.
There's a world beneath the surface that few brands ever truly capture — and even fewer capture well.
We specialise in cinematic underwater filmmaking that brings depth, movement, and emotion to your story. From controlled commercial shoots to natural ocean environments, our work is designed to feel immersive, refined, and visually striking.
Whether showcasing a product, a place, or a way of life, underwater film adds a level of storytelling that immediately sets a brand apart. It's not just different — it's unforgettable.
