About

I'm passionate about all media production and enjoy the complete process of creating unique and captivating content. Having studied and worked in the UK, I moved back to South Africa to work for the German Public Broadcaster ZDF at the 2010 Fifa World Cup. This was my foot into the local media industry and soon found myself working across a spectrum of programs. As a Production Manager, I oversaw more than 1000 hours of broadcasted TV across various SABC shows and multiple digital news platforms. My position in television advanced into creatively producing sponsored and editorial content for the 2017 SAFTA award-winning Expresso morning show on SABC3. This role developed into directing my own concepts and I was asked to move over as full-time insert director for Expresso specialising in community, conservation, correctional services. CSI, travel, and conscious content. My journey took me away from terrestrial TV and I joined the online positive news platform; Beautiful News @ Ginkgo Agency. Since 2020 I have been freelancing and enjoyed producing/directing a string of international concepts from Germany, the USA, Canada, the South African part of an ongoing global British series, and some local Tv and Online productions. This working path has provided me with an understanding and insight into the industry, giving me a firm grasp over the various production, location and filming realities. I enjoy what I do.

    It is so rare that you find someone who you can count on time and time again to deliver, capture incredible visuals and do everything with a smile on their face. We can't wait to continue working with Marcus on all our projects in South Africa!

    Once again, Marcus never fails to impress. His character and warmth make everyone feel so comfortable and his footage of the vineyards, surrounding areas and interviews with winemakers is second to none.
