​Comedy Central, Heritage Day and Spitfire’s Katlego Baaitse. Serious?

​Hola, heita, howzit – it’s Heritage Month, and there’s no country on earth that mixes it up quite like South Africa does. And no Director that likes mixing up people, comedy, performance and storytelling quite like Spitfire’s Katlego Baaitse.

​Invited by Comedy Central to work with great comedic talents such as Mashabela, Peach van Pletzen and Schalk Bezuidenhout, and with cameos from musicians like Mpumi, Donald , Kurt Darren and Leah, Katlego created a series of tongue-in-cheek music videos celebrating South Africa’s resilience, diversity and, most importantly, our unique brand of humour. Demonstrating once again Katlego’s natural affinity for comedy and his ability to coax outstanding performances from his cast.

​Spitfire can create outstanding performances for your work too. Contact us now to find out how to get your (creative) hole filled. Seriously.

About Spitfire Films

“Where there’s a screen, there’s an opportunity.” When Spitfire Films was established a decade ago by Executive Producer Liesl Karpinski and Director AK, this was a statement of intent designed to disrupt the existing production model. And Spitfire has been doing it successfully ever since. South Africa’s first 360º content production company, Spitfire has collaborated closely with the industry’s top advertising agencies and clients to create some of the country’s most effective – and engaging – content.


From TV and cinema commercials, and hugely successful interactive digital campaigns (KFC “Shakin”), to activations for Fox Crime, Insta stories for Mumm Champagne, and SA’s first interactive horror film with Facebook Live for DSTV, Spitfire has created outstanding work for every kind of content. And built a reputation for fast turnaround times, excellent value, and high creative standards. Standards embraced by our grassroots talent who are in the process of becoming Spitfire shareholders.


But it’s the work itself that speaks the loudest to Spitfire’s intent. And talent. Please take a look.
