I immediately loved the premise of this concept “see the bigger picture” – it was something that really resonated with me. I can sometimes become incredibly detailed orientated and lose sight of the end game. Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson made history by applying a simple and succinct navigation system – I thought that their ability to think laterally was truly inspiring. I also just loved the fact that this piece was based on a historical event – films just have that much more power to them when they tell real stories. It proves to us that maybe the impossible is within reach if we are brave enough to think a bit differently.

I went onto the study film at Wits University in Johannesburg South Africa and completed part of my honors year through a scholarship program at Tisch, NYU. I immersed myself in the world of advertising through years of creative research and a stint at TBWA/Hunt/Lascaris before directing commercials. I started off my directing career in the directing duo, (PHI Collaboration), gaining a plethora of knowledge from the partnership. But I am now flying solo in the world of film and advertising. I am a passionate, detail obsessed storyteller. I strive to create a unique visual style for each piece of work that I do, and have a strong intuitive approach to storytelling and performance.
