Welcome to

ASABI film

My work in film started with a visual album I directed across South Africa, Mexico, Costa Rica, before winning $10,000 worth of camera gear in an international film competition with my first short film.

At ASABI, I manage the entire process from initial concept to directing, shooting, editing, colour grading, sound design, composition and delivery. This approach allows me to deliver results more efficiently than a large agency.

NUFFIELD HEALTH

Heart Health Campaign - “Take Heart”


Take Heart is a spoken storytelling campaign with life and love at its heart.

The community-led, peer-to-peer storytelling programme was designed to build trust and drive engagement with the Nuffield Health Under Pressure campaign via a curated series of activations and a short documentary series.

AIRBNB

Documentary Series Concept - “My Favourite” (working title)


Airbnb has a public perception issue regarding the impact on local communities and the rental market.

This documentary series seeks to refocus on Airbnb’s origins of private rooms within a home vs entire property listings.

The series will highlight and revisit the connections between guests and their hosts in a tangible, human way.

YOUR LIFE IS CINEMA, LOOK CLOSER is a video series created during my recent travels, inspired by the desire to elevate ordinary every day moments, finding beauty and narrative in unexpected places.
