THOUGHTFULLY TOLD
A selection of projects we're proud to have collaborated on.
A Story of Survival, Partnership
& the Arctic. Filmed in Greenland, Ice Dogs explores the extraordinary relationship between Inuit hunters and their Greenland sled dogs—an ancient partnership shaped by survival, trust and one of the harshest environments on Earth. More than a documentary about dogs, it is a story about culture, connection and what may disappear when a traditional way of life collides with a rapidly changing world.
MUDITA
Currently in production, this documentary follows Mudita MCC through the people, purpose and human stories at the heart of its work, looking beyond the organisation to understand what truly drives it. It is an intimate film about the difference people can make when compassion becomes action—and the lives that change on both sides of giving.

Rarefire takes an idea from concept through writing, editing, photography, illustration, design and production. Whether you arrive with a box of memories or a carefully structured manuscript, we bring creative intuition and editorial discipline together—heart and structure, story and craft—to make the book you always knew should exist.
Some stories deserve more than a screen.
We create books as objects of meaning—something you can hold, return to and eventually pass on. By bringing together photography, words, illustration and thoughtful design, we turn memories, knowledge and experiences into beautifully crafted books that preserve not only what happened, but what it felt like.

DIE ARKTIESEVOS EN DIE SON
In die ysige Arktiese wêreld vertrek die nuuskierige klein vos Melrakki op ’n avontuur om uit te vind waarheen die son gaan wanneer dit ondergaan. Langs die pad ontmoet sy besondere diere wat haar iets leer oor die son, die natuur en die lewe in die verre noorde. Die Arktiese Vos en die Son is ’n hartroerende, pragtig geïllustreerde verhaal oor nuuskierigheid, ontdekking en die wonder daarvan om die wêreld met vraende oë te bekyk.
