About

I joined the Film Industry though a Film Industry Transformation Initiative (FITI) graduate training programme, provided by the KZN Film Commission in 2018, and acquired a Higher Certificate (NQF Level 5) in Film & Television studies.

I have Produced the following films for the KZN Film Commission:

  • Gender Fluid – A 40 minutes Doccu series; and
  • Yamukela – A 40 minutes drama series.
My trajectory has expanded beyond expectations since joining the Film industry five years ago, and I am confident that I will deliver and exceed your expectations in this role. It is my insatiable appetite for learning & excellence, with devoted commitment to each project I partakes on that sets me apart.

  • Production Manager & Coordinator at Arclight Productions t/a London Recruits Movie;
  • Production Manager at If You Can’t Handle the Heat (KZN Film Commission – FITI programme);
  • Production Assistant at MTV Base Gqom Nation (Season 2);
