CHRISTAN BARNARD
WRITER-DIRECTOR, PHOTOGRAPHER, ENGINEER
"I have had the great fortune being surrounded by creative, exceptionally intelligent individuals during the course of my academic pursuits in engineering and my budding career as a writer-director. I am indebted to these individuals; they have fanned into flame my pursuit of excellence."
SPECIALITIES
WRITING
Rigorous academic research and formal writing, as well as creative writing based on sound story-structure principles.
DIRECTING
PRODUCTION &
POST-PRODUCTION
Project-driven managerial skills focussed on execution, and creative leadership aimed at creating an environment in which film crews can thrive.
Cinematography, editing (in both Premier pro and DaVinci Resolve), and colour grading.
Why choose filmmaking if you spent six years getting your Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering?
I derive meaning from sharing the joy of pursuing excellence so that more people are inspired to dare greatly.
The pursuit of creative excellence is achievable in either domain — engineering and filmmaking are not mutually exclusive — and achieving mastery in one inspires and informs the other.

"To share the joy of pursuing excellence."
