Hey everyone!
I'm a storyteller at heart, and I thrive on bringing ideas to life across multiple creative disciplines. My journey started in the world of media as a radio presenter and audio engineer for a TV channel, where my love for sound, rhythm, and storytelling took shape.
I also have a deep passion for painting— capturing emotions through watercolours and pastels, whether in landscapes or portraits.
Film, however, is my ultimate canvas. I'm a screenwriter currently developing "Die Pakkie", a high-stakes action-thriller, alongside treatments for nine other feature films. I’ve co-directed an indie film, acted in a feature film, and appeared in several commercials— experiencing storytelling from multiple angles.
Beyond writing, I compose and produce music, crafting soundscapes that elevate narratives. This fusion of storytelling and production led me to establish Reviva Studios, where we develop screenplays, produce films, and bring dynamic stories to life.
Creativity is my language, and I love connecting with like-minded filmmakers, writers, musicians, and visionaries. If you're into crafting bold narratives, pushing creative boundaries, or just love talking film, music, and art— let’s connect!

Hey everyone,
Great to meet you all and thank you for the warm welcome. Thank you Maurice Vaughan for the blog link. I appreciate the guidance!
Regarding the indie film I co-directed, the trailer is currently with the producer at the production company. Since the project is still in production, they’re keeping things under wraps for now.
As for the feature film I acted in, I played a royal guard to the legendary Lillian Dube in a historical drama. The producer took the footage back to the U.S. after one of the streamers dropped the project, so I’m not sure where it stands at the moment
.
That said, I’m always excited to collaborate and talk film! Looking forward to connecting with fellow creatives here.
Cheers,
Yonique

You're welcome, Yonique Claassen. I hope the blog helps you connect with creatives and industry professionals.
When the trailer comes out, you could post it on your profile. That way, more members can see it. You can add them by moving your mouse over "Profile" on the bar near the top of Stage 32's homepage and click "Video/Audio." You can also post the trailer to your profile by moving your mouse over "Browse" on the same bar and clicking "Video." I'm looking forward to seeing the trailer and film!
