What people are saying

Barney Cokeliss
Director
Paddington Pictures

Balthazar is an absolute pleasure to work with and pulled off miracles on a creatively ambitious and logistically challenging project in Soweto and the mountains near the Lesotho border. The project went on to win a host of international advertising awards and nominations – including at the CLIOs, Ciclope, Creative Circle etc., punching well above its weight alongside competition with budgets many multiples of ours. I can recommend Balthazar wholeheartedly and if anyone would like to contact me to discuss working with him, please do.
