INFIDEL TRAILER
Kobus studied Graphic Design at Art Directors Workshop in Cape Town and Film making at various institutions in England and Scotland. He shot his first short film “Chemical People” in Edinburgh Scotland as part of the National UK 48 hr Film challenge. After 7 years abroad he came home to Cape Town. After knocking on a couple of doors he was fortunate enough to join the Creative Research department at award winning production company “Egg Films” in 2003. Assisting some of South Africa’s premier Commercial Directors in the pre-production conceptualisation process proved to be hugely beneficial in honing his fledgling Directing skills.
Since leaving Egg films in 2006 he has concentrated on furthering his Camera and Editing skills. This lead him to do freelance work for several production companies shooting in many genre's locally and internationally. He has travelled and shot in 14 Countries thus far and spent most of 2015 Documenting stories for the United Nations throughout Africa. In addition to his Cinematography skills he also has experience as a Director, Editor and Colorist. Broadcasters Kobus has done work for include BBC Lifestyle, Discovery Channel, TLC, CNBC Africa, Sony Max, SABC, Kyknet, and VIA. Clients & Brands include Mercedes Benz, Amnesty International, Coca Cola, United Nations Development Programme, PSG Wealth, Xero & Superdry amongst others.
Recent nominations include Best Cinematography at the 2019 KykNet Silwerskerm Film Festival for the Short Film “Rooilug” His work as Director of Photography contributed to the BBC Lifestyle Series “Just Cooking” being nominated for Best Variety Program at the 2016 SAFTA Awards. As Cinematographer his work on the Short Film “Infidel” contributed to it winning the Audience Award at the 2016 48 Hour Film Challenge. As Off-line editor his work on the Documentary Film "The White Picket Fence" contributed to it winning the International Ambassador Award at the 2012 Rhode Island International Film Festival in the US. In 2010 his short film "Barber Shop” which he wrote, directed and shot made the final selection to the Transforming Stories International Film festival.
He is equally comfortable in Directing, Cinematography and Editing. He believe’s in telling thought provoking, uplifting stories with a morale stance.
