About me!

After my studies I started my career as a Research Assistant at Velocity Films for the late Keith Rose in 2013. Since then I have learnt the tricks of the trade and started expanding my experience beyond research into field such as Videography, Camera Assistant, Photography, PPM documents, Editing, Directing small jobs and much more. 

 

Over the years of doing Research I was able to expand my client base through referrals and have worked with most of the top production companies and Directors in South Africa.

 

Due to COVID-19 I was forced to move to Ramsgate on the South Coast of KZN, so I am only able to work remotely at the moment. 

 

Below I have provided a preview of my CV as well as some treatment examples I've worked on.
