Overview
About Me
Hello! I am a fun-loving music-obsessed music video & film maker and part-time DJ who loves travel, nature, dancing, meditation, photography and live music. I grew up in Joburg, but have lived in many parts of South Africa and have been in Cape Town since 2000. I qualified as a doctor and public health specialist but spend most of my time making films and travelling. I have travelled widely across the continent and planet and and like to experience as many new things as possible. I am down to earth and enjoy people with a fresh perspective who can shed a new light on the fascinating experience of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My most recent exciting adventure was on my recent trip to Lagos in Nigeria. Just before I was about to leave Lagos, I met an artist one night at a live music venue, thought she was amazing and within 2 days was shooting in the pulsating crazy awesome city of Lagos! Conjured up costumes, a concept and locations in one day - a total adventure!
