Hi, I’m Katlego 👋 I’m a filmmaker and video editor who helps brands and creators bring their ideas to life through engaging video content. I’ve got an Honours degree in Motion Picture from AFDA (graduated with distinctions and multiple awards), and since then I’ve worked across directing, editing, and visual effects. I’ve edited everything from short social ads and promos to long-form YouTube videos, always with a focus on keeping viewers hooked. My background as both an educator and a creative means I’m great at communicating, staying organised, and making the process smooth for clients. What makes me stand out? I don’t just cut footage , I shape stories. Whether it’s a snappy TikTok, a polished brand ad, or a cinematic edit, I make sure the final product connects with the audience and delivers results.
