Deidre Rosenberg

ABOUT
The sandy shores of Paternoster set the stage for Deidre's love for filmmaking when she was the production accountant on the indie film, Forgiveness (2004). Deidre has since co-written and produced a number of short films, she is head-writer on a series in development and recently completed writing her first feature film with NFVF funding.

Seeking talent development opportunities within film and the wider creative industry, this Durban-born creative entrepreneur founded Reel Partners in 2016, now a registered non-profit company. Working as CEO of Reel Partners NPC and as Creative Imaginist at Beyond Reel Entertainment, Deidre intentionally surrounds herself with storytellers.

Deidre shares elbow grease with fellow-filmmaker Karabo Likhethe, multi-disciplined creative husband Steve Rosenberg and other like-minded professional filmmakers who enjoy nurturing emerging talent and demonstrate a commitment to job creation and meaningful social impact.

Deidre is currently facilitating the final stages of a specialized writer skills program in partnership with SA Film Academy, the MICT SETA and DHET, and continues writing on her next project with producer, Zulfa Arendse.

FILMMAKER’S STATEMENT
I write. I produce. I direct. Mostly, I love the power of collaborative storytelling. Filmmaking is an extension of who I am and how I see the world around me with all its idiosyncrasy, serendipity, sorrow and hope. I want to create films that make us think, make us feel and that resonate long after we’ve watched them.
