I am a filmmaker, writer, and director working at the intersection of storytelling, visual craft, and social consciousness. My creative discipline is rooted in film, but my practice extends beyond cinema into writing, community engagement, and cultural production. I approach filmmaking not only as an artistic pursuit, but as a social tool—one that can interrogate power, preserve memory, and provoke dialogue.

The work I focus on is socially conscious narrative filmmaking. Through short films such as A Shadow of the Liberation, To Be Seen, and The Passage, I explore themes of identity, freedom, gender-based violence, patriarchy, and the lived realities of young people in South Africa. My films form part of an ongoing effort to merge artistry with activism, using character-driven stories and strong visual language to address social inequities without losing emotional truth or cinematic rigor.

Pushing culture forward through my practice matters deeply to me because I believe artists carry influence—and with influence comes responsibility. Grounded in the African philosophy of Ubuntu, my work centers on bringing African people back to themselves, fostering empathy, active citizenship, and collective care. I am invested in challenging the despondency often attached to youth, offering stories that give us something to believe in. By practicing art within and for community, I aim to demonstrate that filmmaking in South Africa can be both socially impactful and sustainable, and that culture can be a powerful force for building a more engaged, humane society.
