Shepherd was a delight to work with. He is very professional, communicative and reliable. He works independent with a given briefing and delivers the footage very fast. We like his shooting style and his creativity. Thanks again.

Resulting footage is great - up to spec, the communication and planning could have been a notch better though
A documentation of KNH's "Dialogue Works" campaign in Kabwe, Zambia. This film tells a (day in life) story of a child, who participates in the campaign. The story in Zambia is cut together with stories from two other children from India and Peru. The linking element of the film is the artwork, the children produce for the film. It is a painting with a brush or spray cans or similar of "Art. 12" (This is the article in the UN Convention on the rights of the child which is the right of participation).

Mbire district is a remote transfrontal community at the border of Zimbabwe with Mozambique and Zambia which also creates a gateway into Malawi at the far end. It is home to wildlife, fewer than 100 000 indigenous people - mostly the Doma people also known as the ostrich people. They are a remnant of the nomadic hunter gatherers of the past who have shied from civilisation and continue to live in the bushes. Some of them who have now assimilated into the surrounding communities and have started practising modern ways of survival, amongst them health seeking behaviors such as the use of vaccines. However because of the remoteness some of the places, mothers still have to travel vast distances by foot to access medicines. My story aims to 'walk in their shoes' for a day as they walk to a clinic with their children on their backs and witness first hand as they narrate their stories - how as a reclusive community are dealing with health issues, the challenges they face and how they are winning towards immunity.
Mapfihwa is a community and safe space for women that is reviving Indigenous agricultural practices combined with permaculture techniques. Mapfihwa is a word in the Zimbabwean Shona language that refers to stones that are used to support the pot whilst cooking using firewood, as traditionally done in many African societies. Just like the stones that support the pot, Mapfihwa is a community where women converge to work.
AN INSPIRATIONAL woman born without fully developed limbs is making waves in the motivational speaking and beauty blogging world. Sinikwe Kademaunga, from Harare, Zimbabwe, manages to do her own and others’ makeup and hair without hands - using just her arms, which end at the elbow. The pretty 24-year-old has an unknown disability that caused her limbs to stop growing in the womb, leaving her with shortened legs which stop before the knee. Sinikwe now educates about disabilities in her native country, and inspires thousands at her speaking events and online.
