With his roots in photography and his background as a DOP, his eclectic directing style is a definition of ‘look before you leap.’ From using rollerblades to dynamic car-to-car shots, he matured into directing not afraid to experiment with his vision to create a story that is enticing to the spectator. His power to mould the atmosphere on the set to keep a natural flow is a reflection of his perceptive, calm and happy demeanour. As a result, he accomplishes a cinematic allure, drawing from his love for South Africa, wanderlust, nature and real human connection. Winner of The Short Documentary category at Tribeca Film Festival in 2020 for “My Father The Mover” Directed by Julia Jansch.
