Director

Rick Wall

Director / DOP / Editor

Rick brought an extraordinary breadth of craft to Made in Italy, a six-part series for Woolworths on M-Net. Taking on directing, cinematography and editing, he shaped every stage of the storytelling with sensitivity, instinct and an exceptional eye. His ability to find beauty in the smallest details, put people at ease and draw out the human stories behind the food gives the series its warmth and depth — a rich expression of his skill as both a filmmaker and a storyteller.

Anna Verloren van Themaat

Director

Anna’s background in art direction brings a considered beauty to her filmmaking, with an instinctive eye for composition, colour and texture. Her L’Occitane edit captures a sense of summery freshness, light, playful and full of warmth. Beautifully composed frames and a delicate rhythm reveal her refined visual taste, turning carefully crafted details into something that feels effortless and alive.

Peter Verster-Cohen

Director

Benitha Vlok

Director

Benitha brings a quiet sensitivity and meticulous eye to Crafted, a poetic portrait of the relationship between craftsmanship and architecture. Through thoughtful composition and an attentive feel for texture, gesture and detail, she reveals the human care behind the spaces we inhabit. It’s a film that finds beauty in the act of making, connecting the hands that shape our buildings with the lives held within them.
