Description
On this episode of Meet the Creatives, I talk to my new friend SJ. We talk about how your career is like boxing, how his naiveté of film classics actually helped him become a better director, how to land a job in film and more! SJ is from Johannesburg South Africa, but now lives in Cape Town. After his studies he joined 7Films as a young director; moulding him into the director he is today. He is now a majority shareholder of 7films, an award-winning Production Company rated 2nd in South Africa. His work won silver and gold Loeries at the 2016 Loerie Awards; at the age of 22 he was the youngest winner. He won Gold at Cannes Lions in 2017 and silver at the 2017 Pendoring Awards. He is an ambitious, risk-taking individual, who is quick to learn and adapt. His style is inspired by real stories with real characters; he believes reality is stranger than fiction. Taking on filmmaking as a personal responsibility to the world at large.
