About

Business sorted. Stories told.

I'm Pumelelo Chris Sobinca, a film producer, director and entrepreneur from Nelson Mandela Bay.

As a filmmaker, my mission is to uncover, preserve and amplify South African histories that have been forgotten or suppressed. My flagship feature documentary, Dead Archives, tells the story of the burning of the Motherwell Library and what the decline of Gqeberha's public libraries means for the communities around them.

In 2019 I founded Chrisolution Enterprise to give small businesses in Nelson Mandela Bay a reliable, affordable partner for registration and compliance. Today the Chrisolution Group has three divisions covering business compliance, film and photography, and music, voice-over and documentary storytelling.

I also design and build apps and websites. I developed and published the Chrisolution Enterprise app and the Healthy Habits Hero game on Google Play, the App Store and Huawei AppGallery, and I built the chrisolution.co.za website.

All of it comes down to one thing: helping people and stories get the recognition they deserve.
