Capturing Africa’s Soul Through Cinematic Storytelling
In Africa, storytelling is both a tradition and an opportunity. At Rektangle, Federico Casarella and Aurora Di Giosia bring that ethos to life by turning African hospitality into moving visual experiences that connect deeply with the world.
Federico leads every production with a filmmaker’s precision and a marketer’s intuition. In destinations like Sharm El Sheikh and Watamu, he captures the essence of place — the golden light, the cultural richness, the luxury woven into nature — and transforms it into a visual identity that drives bookings, visibility, and admiration from global guests.
Aurora plays a vital role in both production and narrative. As the model and face of our African videos, she brings a refined human presence that bridges cultures and speaks to emotion. Behind the camera, she manages client communication, production logistics, and ensures the brand message is reflected in every frame. Her empathy, awareness, and deep aesthetic sense make her the emotional voice of every story we tell.
Together, they’ve created timeless cinematic content for African resorts that honors culture, captures beauty, and resonates across borders.
Our Process for African Productions
1. Pre-Production Planning & Hotel Brand Alignment
Before filming begins, we conduct in-depth meetings with your marketing team to understand your hotel’s positioning, visual identity, and target audience. We define a creative direction aligned with your brand story and identify key moments and services to emphasize during production.
2. On-Site Scouting & Script Structuring
We visit the resort to study natural lighting, architectural angles, and guest activity flow. This allows us to plan a detailed shot list and narrative arc that maximizes the beauty and functionality of each area, while respecting local customs and operational routines.
3. Multi-day Video + Photo Shoots (Including Drone)
With a dedicated team, we conduct multi-day filming sessions using cinema-grade equipment and certified drone operations. We capture a mix of sweeping landscapes, interior details, and guest experiences, creating a rich visual palette tailored for storytelling across multiple channels.
4. Editing Across Web, Expo, and Social Formats
Our editors produce distinct versions of the video for each marketing need: a main trailer for your website, a fast-paced highlight for social media, and professional clips tailored to trade expos like ITB. Every piece is color-graded, sound-designed, and paced for maximum emotional engagement.
5. Delivery with Guidance on Content Use and Rollout Strategy
Once completed, we provide not only the final files in multiple formats, but also strategic guidance on when and where to publish each asset. From social campaigns to email marketing, we help you maximize the reach and longevity of every frame we deliver.
We adapt to local conditions, cultures, and teams — ensuring respectful and effective storytelling that reflects your values and attracts your guests.
