What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end branded content productions, coordinate international crews smoothly, and deliver strong post-production outcomes on time—especially when deadlines are tight and conditions change.

I am a producer and production manager with four years of experience in film and branded content, working with international clients including Alfa Romeo, GWM, Mercedes-Benz and the Zeus Network. As founder of Odyssey Productions, I run shoots end to end, from budgeting and scheduling through crew, transport, security and locations—often on tight deadlines.

I thrive coordinating between South African and international teams, keeping productions moving while staying adaptable and quick on my feet. I’ve led logistics for IShowSpeed's Africa Tour (South African leg), produced the South African section of the promotional trailer, and delivered the GWM G6 HEV GT campaign from concept to final cut.

My background is varied—from assisting rangers in the Kruger to filming main-stage artists at Rocking the Daisies—so I’m comfortable wherever a production takes me. I also bring post-production capability (editing in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, plus Photoshop) to help my work land cleanly in the final deliverable.
