Team Stanley

The Team

Eddie & Charlene Stanley stand at the centre of Storytown Productions.

Together they have over 40 years’ experience in audio-visual production – cutting their teeth in news and current affairs (SABC & e.tv), then moving on to documentaries (Sabido Productions – e.tv’s prestige international doccie unit), and brand films.

They were crowned national winners in the Vodacom Journalist of the Year competition on three occasions, and also won 10 regional awards in the competition. Their doccies have been shown at the Sondrio Film Festival in Italy, the Sheffield Doc/Fest and the Durban International Film Festival. They’ve also won a Golden Panda Award in the Sichuan Film Festival.
