About Warren

My work spans nearly two decades of broadcast television and web experience, and ranges from documentary series to commercials. I’ve conducted countless interviews over the years, with luminaries such as Annie Lennox, Joanne Leffson, Francois Pienaar, and Dylan Lewis. I've produced and directed scores of documentary and corporate web adverts and marketing videos over the years. When I'm not wearing my director or DP hat, I'm also editing. Some of the brands I’ve worked with include Greencape, Acciona, CNN, Kelloggs, Panasonic and The Weather Channel. Although I never left the camera, my formative years was as a top commercial and documentary editor, having edited on award winning shows like Carte Blanche, Top Billing and documentary series, Ruk en Riel. Awards: Silver Lourie (Cell-C “Subtitles”, film editor); Vuka (Best Use of Humor, film editor): “Ruk en Riel”, Best Documentary Series (editor and DOP).
