The FILM division is currently developing other projects for television, including documentaries:

Beyond documentaries, but also for TV, CHALIA FILMS is developing a high-end Reality Show called Ultimate Africa, From Guts to Glory – whereby contestants from around the world compete against each other in an overland race from Cairo to Cape Town.
The FEATURE FILM division within CHALIA FILMS has a steady focus on International Co-Productions for theatrical release. The company is involved at every stage of script development, financing, securing sales and the actual production itself, right up to ensuring the best marketing strategy along with sales agents and distributors.
Thus far, CHALIA FILMS has completed finance on: 34 South – the first South African feature film to be directed by a black woman in 100 years of filmmaking; and is currently in the process of securing finance for various other feature films
