What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can grow as a filmmaker and contribute creatively.

I am a dedicated filmmaker with a Bachelor of Arts in Film Production from the University of Cape Town. My journey in filmmaking began in childhood, and I have honed my skills in directing, cinematography, and editing through various projects and experiences. My work as a videographer at Yuri Arcurs Productions allowed me to develop a strong technical foundation, particularly in camera operation and lighting design.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated on numerous projects, including commercials and social media content, where I applied my skills in video editing and color grading using industry-standard software like Da Vinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro. I thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy the challenge of bringing creative visions to life while ensuring high-quality production standards.
