Founded in 1998, MUTI FILMS is a director-centered film production house based in Cape Town, South Africa.
A wealth of experience allows us to engage in both large and small-scale, projects producing timeless video content.
MUTI FILMS assembles the perfect crew members for any size production. Our small scale studio and editing facilities makes us suitable to handle pre and post-production, from casting to editing.
Our professionalism, experience and versatility means happy clients and repeat business.
Our team is led by founder, director and cinematographer, Guto Bussab.
To Guto, what he is doing is a lot like chemistry: take the potent elements of pure talent, personal experience and context, throw them all together at high speeds and watch the resultant energy shake the social structure to its foundations. From his advertising beginnings in Brazil, to the multi-faceted services offered at his studios in Cape Town, Guto is absolutely committed to telling stories like nobody has ever told them before.
MUTI FILMS is a manifestation of that commitment.
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, where his work experience in advertising began, Guto moved to South Africa in 1994 to work as an art director, winning prestigious international accolades from the Cannes International Advertising Festival and New York Festivals, London Awards and Loerie Awards. A passion for film eventually led him to launch his own film production house, Muti Films. Since then he has directed numerous TV commercials (locally, and abroad), several music videos, branded content and the web-series GAZE. Gangster’s Paradise: JERUSALEMA (a Muti Films production) is a critically acclaimed feature film (directed by Ralph Ziman / produced by Tendeka Matatu), and co-produced by Guto Bussab. He was part of the team that brought the title World Design Capital 2014 to the city of Cape Town and became one of the programme’s curators. Guto Bussab is also a multidisciplinary fine artist and photographer.
