Enjoy Pizza Hut Flavours at Ster-Kinekor Gateway




ALL NEW PIZZA HUT FLAVOURS TO ENJOY AT STER-KINEKOR GATEWAY
Grabbing dinner and a movie has never been this easy!

Earlier this year, Ster-Kinekor partnered with international pizza franchise Pizza Hut, to bring tantalising treats to its movie lovers at Gateway. The two have joined forces to serve up four new flavours in varying sizes.
Adding to the existing catering combos, which included tropical vegetarian, double cheese, pepperoni and peri-peri chicken, Pizza Hut now offers fiery veg, fiery chicken, supreme and three meat pizzas. All these flavour options are now available in small and large sizes, making them the perfect catering option for a couple, or the whole family to munch on, while watching their favourite movie on the big screen. If you prefer something a little sweeter, Pizza Hut now offers a new Choc Dessert pizza.
This innovative catering concept is serviced from an express-store version of Pizza Hut offering some of its most popular pizza variations, housed within the Gateway cinema complex. Simply put, dinner and a movie has never been this easy, thanks to Ster-Kinekor and Pizza Hut bringing it all together under one roof.
All the pizzas are made on site, and can be paired with Ster-Kinekor’s must-have popcorn and cold drink offerings available in a range of differing combos, to satisfy appetites of all sizes!
Make your way to Ster-Kinekor Gateway to take full advantage of this delicious offer.

Opportunity For Filmmakers




Workshop at the 2016 Durban FilmMart


After the swift uptake of the Business Model Canvas in 2015, the DFA continues on its mission to bring this empowering tool to more South African producers. The easy to use visual tool helps you map your project or your company in a language that makes sense to people who can give you the financing you need.

The Documentary Filmmakers' Association in partnership with the Canadian Film Centre (CFC) Media Lab, and the Durban FilmMart are hosting two full day workshops on the powerful Business Model Canvas Tool for South African filmmakers.

The one day intensive workshops take place over 17 – 20 June at the 2016 Durban FilmMart and tie into industry events at the FilmMart.
The Business Model Canvas is a powerful visual tool that helps filmmakers plan projects. The workshop team will lead you through a series of exercises to help you identify your specific business models and provide a blueprint for current and future projects.

COMMENTS FROM PARTICIPANTS AT THE 2015 DURBAN FILMMART
It simplified the business of filmmaking.
The tool was very easy to adapt and very focused.
It has made me think out of the box regarding my project.
Mind expanding.
The exercises allow you to realise alternative opportunities in your business model.
Great perspective into my project by other “attendancers” and a good understanding afterwards of the BMC tool.

At the end of the workshop you will be able to identify the different elements of your business model and integrate them to enhance your work, your company, and the products you deliver. You will also be able to extract key points to be able to deliver a 30 second pitch to investors.
We are looking for 16 filmmakers with projects in development or production to attend the Business Model Canvas workshops.
