I am a film editor and director currently working at The William Kentridge Studio in Johannesburg.

​

I am an editor on the original episodic series 'Studio Life - Self Portrait As A Coffee Pot' which offers a cinematic experience of William Kentridge’s creative process in his studio. This series premiered at TIFF 2022 and was also selected for the London, Rome, and Amsterdam Film Festivals, respectively.

​

I was one of the editors on William Kentridge’s original film titled  'Oh To Believe In Another World' which was made to accompany the live orchestral performance of Shostakovich’s 10th Symphony. This premiered in Lucerne, Switzerland and then went on to be performed in Pompeii, Italy as well as Johannesburg, South Africa. 

​

I wrote, directed and edited the original feature documentary 'Rhythm & Smoke'. This project was commissioned by 'MonsterEnergy' and is a deep dive into a very unique aspect of South African culture. The documentary first aired on multiple DSTV channels across the African continent and is now available on Showmax. It received two nominations at the Bokeh International Film Festival 2021 for ‘Best Directing’ as well as for ‘Best Documentary’.

​

I was the assembly editor on 'Tali's Wedding Diary' This mockumentary tv series was the frontrunner for original Showmax productions in South Africa. It won 5 awards at the 2019 South African Film & Television Awards (SAFTA's), including best editing in a comedy tv series. 

​

I was the official editor and director of many episodes 'Suzelle DIY'. A breakthrough YouTube comedy web-series which also aired on ComedyCentral. This show won the award for best editing in a tv comedy series at the 2018 SAFTA's.
