My Story
Directing my graduation film
I graduated from film school in 2012 in Cape Town, after completing two short films in my final year, The Sunman and The Amazingly Ordinary Story which won a few awards including best screenplay.
After assisting on some short and feature length films, I first worked as an editor and videographer before settling at the Grand Kids Creative agency where I expanded my professional experience to include directing and producing, namely making a few short commercials and event videos.

On set of the AFI film (we shot on 35mm film!)
I finished my first independently produced short film called Gerry and produced two commercials for Safelight before deciding it was time I see the world.
My first experience working overseas was as a counsellor on a summer camp near New York. After this I visited Los Angelas where I worked as a camera assistant on an AFI film set.
I spent a year living in South Korea, before moving to Hanoi. During this time I worked as a freelance film maker but also started doing improv (something I always wanted to try), joined a drama school and eventually acted in a play!
In Hanoi I made a number of event videos, two music videos (one titled Hanoi) and two short films which I wrote and directed: Taking Control and The Suicide Helpline.
Filming the Tova music video "Losing the Fight"
I acted in a commercial for a hospital in Vietnam!
Finally, I moved to Da Nang, a beach city in Vietnam where I filmed one final farewell film for Vietnam, titled Viet-Man, about an Expat who is leaving and another pirated themed action short film, soon to be released. I also filmed and edited a commercial, a photoshoot and made a number of travel videos.
