I wanted to teach film. I started the first independent film school in Africa and eventually merged this with a local university.
To mention a few of my students achievements ( I merely pointed each of them in the right direction):
One became a TV journalist and reported the first of the Somali Pirate attacks for CNN;
One became an award winning feature film editor in LA;
One directed a feature film for Warner Bros;
One heeded my advice and did NOT give up maths in grade 9. He now holds a MSc in Maths and heads up the Maths Department i in a UK high school;
One started a very successful feature film production house in South Africa. This company produces at least four feature films a year.

I offer a number of services including :

Teaching English as a Second Language - ESL;

A Screenplay Doctor Service;

A Consultancy Service for the Film Industry that includes:
Screenplay Evaluation,
Budgeting;
Production Supervision;

A Screenplay Workshop (all genres);

The Cape Film Workshops focussing on Motion Picture Skills.

I re-designed the program to comply with the university requirements and led the internal and external accreditation process.
The internal accreditation process was completed well within the time constraints and was held as a model accreditation process by the university's quality management team.
The external accreditation was equally smooth.

I wanted to teach filmmaking. So, I founded the school. I designed the program from scratch and built the school to international status. The school attracted students from countries such as Alaska(US), Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Iceland, India, Italy, Lesthoto, Namibia, Nepal, Sweden, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Many of my alumni have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

I merged the school with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology with effect from January

I wrote, produced and directed a variety of television programs including commercials, television inserts and complete series.

I wrote produced and directed a variety of educational and sport programs for the university including Business, Humanities, Medicine and Student Sport.
