We recently spoke with Chloè Turner (@chlomoolala ), founder of Paper Friends Productions (@paperfriendsproductions ), to explore her journey to building a production company rooted in care, collaboration and honesty.
From styling her first shoots with friends to producing large-scale music videos for the likes of Uncle Waffles, Chloè reflects on the philosophy of holistic production — an approach that prioritises people as much as the final frame.
In a conversation spanning fair compensation, creative community, and the global rise and celebration of African storytelling, Chloè shares why she believes kindness and transparency are essential to the future of the industry.

When I started @paperfriendsproductions three years ago, our intention was simple: authentic relationships.
Over the past three years, we’ve focused on building a community while creating work we’re incredibly proud of. So when you find us online, you know we’re more than just a reel of projects — we’re a collective built on connection, collaboration, and trust.
We’re now open for 2026 bookings - send that brief chommie! ✨🫶🏽
Introducing @paperfriendsproductions 🥹❤️
We’d say it’s nice to meet you but chances are we’ve probably already met.
If you’re new here, feel free to stick around - this is just the beginning. 🤟🏾
we feel karibu 🥹
Nairobi & Diani you were a dream come true - recharged, rested and so excited for the future of African creatives.
The kids gon be alright ✨
63 artists, +-150 people, 3 days, 1 team 🏋️♂️
This year I wanted to highlight the full artist logistics team, the team that successfully hosts & travels 63 artists for @rockingthedaisies 🫶🏽
Because I’m crazy and love building systems the aim is to improve every year - which we wreck our brains in pre prod doing. Communicating with the sheer amount of people you have to plus the production wahala of some shit always hitting the fan - my ask is going forward we all read the callsheet/schedule! 😂😂
2026 will be even bettter! 🧘🏽♀️
Without this incredible team that now feel like family - we wouldn’t be able to host some of our favourite artists and help them fall inlove with our country ✨🇿🇦
We had a time and hope you did too! 🫶🏽
when lady gaga said bus, club, another club, no sleep - she meant day in the life of a producer 😂!
thank you to all sweeties who helped make the trip fun for me - love you xxxx
