About John
As a director/writer/producer/cinematographer and co-owner of TH Films based in Cape Town, South Africa, I spent much of my early career as a documentary filmmaker in conflict zones around the world.
Since that season, I have striven to use those experiences to tell engaging, character-driven, action-based stories that matter. Stories that can spark conversations and point the audience towards something higher.
I have worked in 12 different countries on award-winning films, commercials, music videos, lifestyle TV, game shows, and documentaries.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Media Production from The University of Cape Town.

Learn from twenty years of experience, across twelve countries, in every medium in film and TV, from warzones to soundstages.
I've worked at every level of production and post, and I teach what that actually taught me: not textbook theory, but what the job is really like once the camera rolls and the budget shrinks.
If you're trying to break in or level up, I can help you:
- Learn the basics of cinematography
- Become a director with a clear vision
- Work with actors
- Sharpen your visual storytelling
- Learn to pitch like a pro
- Get your dream projects financed, shot, and finished
- Find your audience and stand out in a crowded field
- Avoid the pitfalls that stall most careers before they start
- Build a career that pays the rent between passion projects
Every student comes in with different goals, so lessons are built around yours, whether that's a specific project, a portfolio, or a career plan. If you’re serious about making it in the industry, I’m ready to help.

John is an excellent teacher—patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely gifted at making complex concepts easy to understand. His extensive experience and impressive awards speak for themselves, and his broad range of skills across different areas of the film industry gives him a wealth of knowledge to draw from. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to learn about filmmaking or cinema.
At the end of the day, anyone can Google anything about film. But you may be hard-pressed to find someone who has John's experience in the industry, not to mention the numerous awards for his short films, who is willing to coach you through gaining experience of your own in film.
