I am an award-winning filmmaker, lecturer, and artist passionate about exploring philosophical questions and visual poetics in filmmaking. For over ten years, I have created short films, documentaries, and curated programs for festivals including Stellenbosch Woordfees, AVIFF (Cannes), and the Absa KKNK.

 

My films, such as Raw/Rou, engage deeply with themes of resilience and identity, using the long take to reveal the often hidden nuances of place and time within South Africa’s rural spaces. This approach is both poetic and theoretically grounded, engaging with time as a living force within the frame.
 

Currently, I lecture at Open Window University, where I guide students in understanding both the theoretical and technical aspects of film. I encourage students to use film as a medium for personal expression and critical inquiry, helping them find their own voices in a global context.
