About
I am the Creative Director of The African Motion Picture Company. We produce quality television commercials, corporate film, and social media content for the advertising and marketing industry, serving blue-chip clients with a strong reputation built over 28 years.
I was born in England, moved to South Africa as a child, and studied Fine Arts and English. My career spans roles from photographer and film/video editor to director and creative director—where I’m known for bringing warm, powerful performances from talent and maintaining full commitment from teams. I balance creative vision with practical production realities, including budgeting, multi-project management, and leading in-house agency-style engagements.
