BIO
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Drama and Theatre Arts and a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Film and Visual Media from the University of the Free State (2011-2016). My career began in 2016 at Palama Productions, where I served as co-producer, production manager, and editor. I have contributed to various television productions, including Elders, Op Pad met Dana Snyman, Oorsee, Spoegwolf Soek Nuwe Bloed, and Trou Tunes, showcasing my skills in both production and directing.
I co-produced the award-winning short film Die Leeftyd van ‘n Orgideë for the 2018 kykNET Silwerskerm Festival, and went on to co-produce the feature film Skemerson (2019) and co-direct the documentary Droogte (2019). My documentary work includes From Parow to Parow Fest: The Jack Parow Story and Africa’s Home Run (2020). I have also produced and edited several documentaries, such as Pioneer Jews of Southern Africa (Boerejode) and En Tog Die Deuntjie Draal… Die Koos du Plessis Verhaal.
In addition to film production, I have experience in digital asset management, e-learning, concept trailers, and real estate videos. Currently, as a remote freelancer, I am actively engaged in multiple projects, demonstrating my commitment to
the evolving film industry.
