MOONLIGHTING - Key Persons
Beccy handles marketing and PR for Moonlighting - from overall strategy to writing those newsletters we send you and filling the sumptuous gift packs. Before joining Moonlighting she was based in London where she worked with a branding consultancy after some years in marketing with United Airlines.
She has now also become the unofficial in-house expert on all things visa and immigration-related. A mum of two, she speaks Russian and is obsessed with Pilates.
Isabelle has brought her talent and experience as a leading Creative Director in the Parisian Production Industry to Cape Town where she is working alongside her husband Vincent Roussel in servicing French Productions in South Africa. Isabelle, who first worked with Moonlighting way back as a client on a French commercial for SFR, brings an intrinsic understanding of what will work for French boards. She presents locations and talent in exactly the way it will work for the French market and can speed up the selection process.

Job Titles:
- FINANCIAL MANAGER
- PARTNER
- FINANICAL MANAGER / PARTNER
Nolan is our financial wizard. He is the man with an unswayable calm and logic that defies most of us, juggling foreign exchange, crew payments and every single aspect of Moonlighting's financial management. His love of cake is legendary although his baking skills slightly less so…..
Philip has been involved in the South African film industry for more than 31 years. He started off as a sound technician and then was asked one day out of the blue if he could help some French producers who wanted to shoot in South Africa. Just like that, Moonlighting began and has grown over the years to become one of the premier production services company in the country, incorporating Moonlighting Commercials and Moonlighting Films. Recognising South Africa's huge potential as a production destination, Philip was one of the first to market the country's merits to production companies overseas and has been a pioneering force in the industry ever since.
He was on the board of African Media Entertainment (AME) and the company's acting CEO. He was a member of SAFTA in the 1980's, has been on the executive committee of the Commercial Producers Association (CPA), has served on the board of the Cape Town Film Commission and AFDA and is currently CEO of FIVA (Film Industry Visa Assistance).
Philip is a foodie of note and when not at Moonlighting, can be found at African Relish, his and his wife Lisa's culinary school in the Karoo.
Job Titles:

As Exec Producer of Moonlighting Commercials, Shayne is 100% hands-on and involved in every aspect of production, starting from the minute your boards land in our inbox. She has endless experience in all things production, with a background that spans both director-based and service production.
She is incredibly well respected amongst the South African crew, while her experience, dedication and calm, problem-solving approach inspire confidence and trust in producers from all over the world. A multi-tasking uber-mom of three boys, champagne is her drink of choice.
Suzanne is our senior in-house producer. She finally joined us after many years "permalancing" with us, bringing her 20+ years production experience as both a director's and service producer along with her phenomenal attention to detail and solution-finding approach.
Suzanne's ability to stay calm no matter what's going on around her is legendary and won her the Queen Elizabeth II ‘Smile and Wave Award' at our last Moonlighting weekend away. Clients love working with her.
Job Titles:
- EXEC PRODUCER
- French Producer
French Producer Vincent Roussel has brought his many years' experience in the French production world to Cape Town and Moonlighting where he is now servicing commercials and stills for the French market.
Vincent started working with us as a client in 2003 as Exec Producer to French director Jean Pierre Philippot and shot many jobs with us mainly for Garnier; he therefore knows more than most exactly what clients need from their service company.
He has now moved to Cape Town with his wife, Creative Director Isabelle Longue and his son Tom.
