South Africa
'19 - '24
Living in Cape Town and it's surroundings have been a big part of my life. A wild country. A beautiful country. A challenging country. Not to put into any image, but here are some from my point of view.

Capetonian Characters
Living in Cape Town, I sometimes feel like life is a movie here all any moment of time. With its big ups, like the gorgeous mountains, the beautiful sea and friendly people, and deep downs, such as poverty, criminality, discrimination and corruption.
Throughout my work as a Social Worker here in Cape Town, I kept meeting very unique characters throughout the city. What intrigued me about their stories is that, even though their circumstances are very tough and unthinkable for people from a first-world country like myself, they do everything to keep their smile up.

In June 2019, their stories inspired me to start my first own, fully filmed, edited and funded short documentary series.
