The beautiful thing about filming in my country is how multicultural it is. Rich with beautiful stories with matching beautiful locations. Each and every day I'm inspired by new stories from current politics to comedy.
When I travel to film abroad I'm always out to seek equal content in other countries and am often wonderfully surprised to find more than I'd hope for, it's this rush that feuls my passion as a film maker. I have been in some very interesting situations from all over West-Africa to England and home (South Africa). I enjoy finding out the truth behind everything through story telling and for me my best medium is film.
My first trip abroad was to Accra Ghana, I was lucky enough to be asked to direct a small game show for a cellular mobile company. After a few months there and the final show we were prepping to come back home to Cape Town South Africa. I really enjoyed my time and travels all over Ghana and wasmy to keen on coming home. I had met sooo many interesting people while shooting, that was the beauty of it, where never knew who we were goIng to be filming. A random number would be generated off the grid and a red dot would pop up And tell is where in the whole of Ghana we'd be off to go film, and hand out prizes etc making people's day. And we came across ALL walks of life.
So they day before our departure I asked the CEO of the company of he'd let me stay for awhile to go back and revisit all the contestants and to to a mini doci and what they had done with their money, starting with the first contestant which is now already 6month prior.
It was one of the most enriching experiences of my life and I'd do it all again at a drop of a hat, it's the commitment and passion you can expect from me.
Kind Regards
