About Me

I hold a degree in film and television and have been running my own film production company, Vass Digital Plus, on a full-time basis since 2015. Over the years, I have produced three documentary series that aired on a local channel in Botswana. In 2020, I had the privilege of traveling to some remote areas of Botswana being Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta, which sparked my interest in nature and wildlife filmmaking. This exploration resulted in the production of an adventure series titled \"Living Wild-Kalahari,\" set for release in 2025. Additionally, I produced a documentary series called \"Life in the River,\" which chronicles the lives of the people in the Okavango Delta as they navigate their livelihoods in the region's waterways. I am a firm believer in collaboration and have worked alongside other local filmmakers, always welcoming opportunities for collaborations.
