I'm an independent filmmaker, photographer, writer, environmentalist and explorer from Cape Town, South Africa. In 2015 I graduated with a BA Film Arts degree from The Open Window Institute of Film Arts, in Pretoria, South Africa and have since travelled to over 30 different countries (including Antarctica).
