Available to hire
I am Siyavuya Mfenqa, a film producer, writer and director with eight years’ experience across development, production and post production. I lead projects from concept to delivery, managing budgets, schedules and teams with clarity, and I have a proven track record securing production and development funding and pitching projects to Netflix, MTN and MultiChoice. I recently relocated to Liverpool to pursue an MA in Film and Television and am available for part-time or flexible work up to 20 hours per week. I’m excited to bring my collaborative, results-driven approach to new productions in the UK.
