About me

As an innovative editor, visual storyteller and post production specialist in terms of grade, CGI and VFX, I love challenges that expand my skills and have a keen interest in new film technologies.

I started my editing career while signed to Gallo as an artist with the band Karoo with our first music video - 'Mission Impossible'.

Fascinated by film I started from the ground up working as an all-hander on films like 'Dangerous Grounds' and 'The Making of a Mahatma'. After spending two years working on numerous sets I finally found my way into the editing suite.

Here I gained hands-on skills by editing and delivering many hours of diverse content for television. I had found my passion.

I got my first film break with "lokshin bioskopes movies" like 'The Conman' and 'Foreign Hearts'. This led to the acclaimed Afrikaans film 'Die Spook van Uniondale' which I both edited and graded, including all VFX work in the film, which was the first film I edited for producer Dumi Gumbi.

'The Dunning Kruger Effect' was next, 'Mrs Right Guy' followed directed by Adze Ugah, which was a box office hit in South African theatres in 2016. I edited the SA/USA co-production, "Love By Chance" (Best Feature UMFF, Opening Night Film Houston Black Film Festival and GCUFF and Official Selection at Pan African Film Festival), a romantic comedy on screens across more than 30 cinemas in South Africa in 2017, as well as the psychological thriller, "The Tokoloshe" (13 Festivals incl: BIFAN, SITGES, Frightfest, Motel/x, LUND and Razor Reel ), beautifully shot by award-winning South African cinematographer - Trever A Brown. This was an opportunity to edit a classically structured genre film that also involved major CGI and VFX.

Other Films incl:

'Mr Johnson'(Winner Best Feature LIFF, Best Feature Runner up Idyllwild, Bull Award Birmingham Film Festival, Best Narrative Feature Vegas Int. Awards, Best Picture MPIFF Motion Pictures International Film Festival)

'The Letter Reader'(Winner shnit Worldwide Shortfilmfestival),(Winner Rapid Lion 2020),(Winner SAFTA Best Short Film 2020),

'Life's a Drag'(Winner, Sundance TV shorts)
