Who I serve
I work with organisations where the story actually matters: where the right film can unlock funding, shift public opinion, or move a board to act. Not every project is the right fit.
Impact films that move donors.
Brand films that move product.
Funding films that move capital.
Featured work
South Africa's wholesale electricity market reform is one of the most consequential policy shifts in the country's history. Most stakeholders couldn't decode it. Sustainable Energy Africa needed a film that made complex regulation feel urgent, accessible, and worth acting on.
Part of a 19-video series reaching municipalities, regulators and energy developers across Southern Africa.
GreenLink is one of Africa's most ambitious private infrastructure projects, connecting the Northern Cape's solar fields to the Western Cape coast. Kahre needed investor-grade films that matched the scale of a R794 billion funding vision.
A 5-film series blending AI generation, stock and in-field footage, produced to support one of SA's largest private energy funding rounds.
In a nation where fewer than half the population had reliable electricity, Innovent's 3MW solar farm in Foumbouni, powered by Tesla battery storage, changed that overnight. They needed a French-language film to demonstrate impact to investors and government partners.
Delivered entirely in French. Innovent now operates 40+ solar and wind installations across 11 African countries.
The Mohéli National Park is the Comoros' only marine protected area and one of the world's most important sea turtle nesting grounds. Yet it had no dedicated funding for 14 years. AFD commissioned this film to make the case for conservation investment and unlock ecotourism as a sustainable path forward for the island's communities.
AFD has backed Mohéli since 2014 with €3 million in funding. The park was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2021.
BWild needed a film that could put their marine volunteer programme on the map, reaching conservation-minded travellers across Europe and South Africa. Shot underwater and along the Mozambique coast, this film captures the full sensory pull of one of Africa's most biodiverse marine environments.
Delivered as a primary marketing asset to drive volunteer sign-ups and donor awareness for BWild's Indian Ocean programme.
Sulawesi is one of the planet's most biodiverse islands: 62% of its mammal species exist nowhere else on Earth. Naturevolution has worked to protect its karst forests since 2013. This behind-the-scenes film from a remote expedition documents what conservation looks like at the edge of the world.
Used to increase donor funding and expand Naturevolution's international supporter base across Europe.
Before ROARR could transform Victoria Falls into a 6,500m² light spectacle, the world's largest projection on a natural water surface, investors had to believe it was possible. Immersive International needed a project explainer that could communicate the scale, the logistics, and the why to funders who had never seen anything like it.
A pre-launch funding asset for a world-record production backed by the President of Zambia and partnered with WWF.
Russell Raath set a record crossing Robben Island to Big Bay entirely on his back, one of open-water swimming's most demanding feats, in waters steeped in South Africa's history. This film is the centrepiece of his personal brand: a timeless asset that communicates his coaching philosophy without saying a word about credentials.
A career-defining brand film that commands premium coaching rates and opens doors no CV ever could.
The Radisson Collection's Waterfront Cape Town is the first luxury Collection-branded property in sub-Saharan Africa: a landmark launch for one of the world's leading hotel groups. Rather than filming the amenities, this narrative film follows a guest's perfect day, letting the hotel reveal itself through lived experience.
A timeless brand film for a five-star property on Cape Town's Atlantic seaboard: driving direct bookings through story, not spec sheets.
Impact
Ten years of field work across five continents. These aren't portfolio wins. They're outcomes that changed what organisations were able to do next.
Client outcomes
It's always a privilege to be able to work with Rudi. He comes to his work with a soft but deep focus. He has an exquisite eye and an equally kind manner. He's confident and extremely talented. Looking at his footage never disappoints.
Rowan
Sunshine Cinema
Whether filming from a boat, on the shore, or diving beneath the waves, Rudi's talent for capturing the perfect shot are evident throughout the documentary. The final edit of the film is a testament to his storytelling abilities, seamlessly weaving together stunning visuals with compelling narratives.
Alex
Co-Founder, BWild
His expertise is second to none. His deep knowledge of cameras, storytelling techniques, and his readiness for extreme adventures truly set him apart. We're always excited to collaborate with him and his team.

The filmmaker
For ten years I've been filming around the globe in places most filmmakers never reach. From the Congo rainforest to the Himalayas, through the Indian Ocean and Antarctica.
I don't just show up with gear. I show up with a plan, a point of view, and a genuine love for the work.
Responsive. Thoughtful. Field-ready.
You brief me once... I'll bring back an asset you'll use for years.
Watch the story
How it works
Discovery Call
Before a camera rolls, we get clear on what the film needs to do: who it's for, where it lives, and what a win actually looks like. No vague briefs. No scope creep.
Shoot + Edit
From logistics and permits to cinematography and post-production: a single point of contact, no agency overhead, and the ability to film in conditions most crews won't take on.
Delivery + Amplification
The film is the starting point. You'll also get guidance on how to use it: which channels, which audiences, and how to extract maximum impact from every minute of footage.
