Request QuoteI am a South African filmmaker with a background in editing. Often shooting alone, I have worked in a number of Southern and East African countries. Environmental and social issues are close to my heart and I am passionate about telling stories. I love to travel and engage with situations that are challenging and take me out of my comfort zone. I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Cape Town before starting my career in film as an editor. I have since made short documentary films for both South African and international non-profit organisations, like Harambee, The Egmont Trust (UK), Habitat for Humanity and Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya and Lesotho. I have made a full-length documentary film, "Daddy's Girl", which was shown at Encounters film festival and I am in the process of producing and co-directing a documentary film called "Nighthunter" for the BBC. After extensive research, which I conducted myself, we started shooting in 2022. I have also expanded my interests beyond the documentary filmmaking arena. I spent ten years volunteering as a crisis counsellor at Life Line. I am also currently writing my first feature-length screenplay. Based on a true story, the script, called "Deadly Force", is in its final draft.
Produced for The Egmont Trust
A short film that follows Riziki, a 21-year old peer educator for the Nasio Trust in Western Kenya. Motivated to help her peers make better choices, she educates her community on HIV and teenage pregnancies. This film was commissioned by the Egmont Trust, a funder of Nasio Trust and other grassroots organisations in Africa.
Produced for Harambee
Commissioned by Harambee Youth Unemployment Accelerator, this 4min 30 second film showcases DigiLink, a powerful digital skills initiative aimed at supporting South African unemployed youth who have struggled to find jobs without prior work experience. The programme has been hugely successful, helping candidates into full time employment in digital jobs in 12 months. The film focusses on Runita, a beneficiary from Mitchells Plain, Cape Town.
Produced for BPESA/FSP
A 5 minute film made for the Future Skills Platform (FSP), which helps school-leavers increase their computer literacy skills and be work-ready in three months. In a country with over 60% youth unemployment, the fight for job opportunities is real and solutions like FSP are life-changing. The film follows Cape Town residents, Isaac from Mitchell's Plain and Maryam from Khayelitsha.
