I’m a well-travelled filmmaker based in Cape Town, working across commercial, documentary, and narrative projects.

My work is driven by a belief that strong visual storytelling begins with feeling. Whether I’m directing or behind the camera, I look for emotional truth first, then build cinematic craft around it.

I’m drawn to stories that sit at the intersection of culture, community, and character - films that feel grounded, intentional, and human. From brand work to long-form, I aim to create images that don’t just impress in the moment, but resonate over time.

Having worked across a wide range of productions, I value clarity on set, collaboration with purpose, and decisions that serve the story rather than the noise around it. I’m particularly interested in projects where visual language carries meaning, not just polish.

I collaborate with agencies, producers, and creative teams who care about craft, trust instinct, and believe that the best work comes from alignment rather than excess.
