Alastair Orr

I'm Alastair Orr, and my journey has taken me from being an independent filmmaker to becoming an entrepreneur. I now lead The First Order Group, where I oversee The Refinery in Cape Town and The First Order in Johannesburg. My background in storytelling and a strong interest in innovation have come together as I try to reshape the world of entertainment. By combining my cinematic skills with entrepreneurial drive, I aim to redefine how audiences experience stories and creative content.

One of my passions is not just creating stories myself, but also helping other filmmakers bring their visions to life. I understand the challenges of the filmmaking process and the importance of supporting fellow storytellers. At The First Order Group, we're dedicated to fostering a community where artists can collaborate, learn from each other, and ultimately finish the stories they're passionate about.

Passionate leader and founder of The First Order, a premier post-production company based in South Africa. With a relentless drive for excellence, I've taken the company from its inception to becoming a powerhouse in the African filmmaking scene. My team and I cater to filmmakers worldwide, delivering top-tier post-production services that bring stories to life. With a solid track record of success, I continue to shape the industry's landscape and contribute to its growth
