About Tiaan

Residing in Pretoria, South Africa, I am a lecturer in Directing at Tshwane University of Technology’s Film Department. I have worked on multiple short films for local Afrikaans channel kykNET as Grip, Line Producer, Producer and Screenwriter. I am also the Screenwriter and Producer of the feature film “The Pro” (currently distributed by Hollywood Pictures).
Currently working on the epic quasi-historical female-driven feature screenplay “Barberton Daisy/Discovering Liz” (title still to be confirmed) about the historical figure of Cockney Liz.
