Recently wrapped on the series I AM WOMAN - LEAP OF FAITH produced by Plexus Films.

Wonderfully inspirational stories that feature the lives and Leaps of Faith of 52 remarkable women exploring how they stepped into brand new territory when faced with life’s greatest challenges and opportunities. Each episode uncovers the turning points and moments of change in their lives and explores where they turn to for sustenance when the chips are down.

I was privileged to work with a great team; Antoinette Engel, Rosemary Lombard & Tinashe Makwande in the office, Tim Wege & Karen Landsberg on camera and Tanja Hagen & Charlene Waite as editors.
The series producers Lauren Groenewald, Miki Redelinghuys & Lisa Chait, also presenter, were amazing! Let's hope for a third season.
