ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Louis NeethlingExecutive Producer/Director Louis started his TV career as an Artes Award nominated presenter on the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation). Louis then realized he was far more interested in learning about what went on behind the camera, so he changed his career to one of runner and researcher at the SABC whilst studying single and multi-camera directing. Louis then progressed onto the role of assistant director/presenter and then eventually director/executive producer of the independent production house, The New Production Company, Johannesburg, South Africa. After working on drama and children's drama on TV, Louis wanted to learn more about film. Fortunate enough to have secured a grant from The Department of Sports, Arts and Culture to make a film and to win a Rotary International Scholarship, Louis traveled to the UK to study at the NFTS mentored by Lesley Manning, Brian Tufano BSC, Pia di Caula and Alex Mills BSC. It was a wonderful and happy experience and resulted in his short film, DisABLE, being shown at various film festivals around the world. Louis moved to the UK in autumn 2001 and started work at the BBC as a director/assistant producer. Firstly, on See Hear and Switch, then Crimewatch, Holiday 2006 and Open i for Red Bee Media. Louis left the BBC at the end of 2006, to become freelance and set up his own company. Louis's personal web site Their web site: http://www.muttandjeffpictures.com/ |
