TIAN VAN DEN HEEVER  |  DIRECTOR

Tian is a director of filmed things. Previously, an Executive Creative Director of advertising things.
Adept at juggling ideas, constraints, personalities and opportunities in disguise, he creates work that delights – on time, on budget, and delivered with a smile – backed by a network of extremely talented (and suspiciously nice) co-conspirators. View Work

DARON CHATZ  |  DIRECTOR & DOP

Daron has spent over two decades behind the lens. He’s seen bad briefs, beautiful light, tight deadlines and impossible shots that somehow worked.
He started in stills. Motion was inevitable. He notices details before they introduce themselves. He lines up the frame, shapes the light and spots the problem before it becomes one. He directs. He shoots. He solves. Craft isn’t a style choice for Daron. It’s the baseline. View Work

WANANI “WANI” RANTLOANE  |  DIRECTOR

Wani has followed one thing her entire career: story. She understands narrative from the inside out: structure, character, pace, and the invisible mechanics that make something land.
She has built stories across the spectrum – kids’ shows, documentaries, music series, reality TV – shaping projects from concept through delivery and guiding teams through every beat along the way. Long-form, short-form, broadcast, digital: if it has a narrative spine, Wani knows how to strengthen it. View Work.

MANDILUVE ZANEMVULA “ZANE” TITIZANE  |  PHOTOGRAPHER & DOP

Zane doesn’t chase attention. He frames it. He shoots stills. He shoots motion. He builds images that feel clean, intentional, and current.
And brands like The Walt Disney Company, The Foschini Group, Archive and Under Armour keep coming back for more. Not because he shouts. Because he delivers. He understands the scroll, the pause, the frame that makes someone stop. View Work.

ALAN ROBERTS  |  FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Alan has spent over three decades in production, which means he’s seen the cycles – the hype, the crashes and the reinventions. Experience hasn’t made him jaded. It’s made him reliable.
Client service isn’t a department to Alan. It’s personal. He answers the call, solves the problem and follows through. Step into his world and you won’t leave without a coffee, a plan, and a sense that things are under control.

KIRSTY GALLIARD  |  CO-FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Kirsty doesn’t wear many hats. She builds the hat rack.
Marketing, strategy, writing, editing, directing, producing – she’s done it all. Not for the résumé. For the understanding. She sees the whole board: big ideas, moving parts, real budgets and talented humans, all needing to work together at once.

As co-founder of FIVESTAR, she balances instinct with structure, creative energy with commercial reality. She knows when to push, when to protect the work, and when to quietly solve the thing nobody else saw coming.

DAN CORREIA  |  EDITOR & VFX ARTIST

Future-facing and human-centred, Dan pushes boundaries quietly and systematically.
Fluent in edit suites, VFX stacks and AI sandboxes, he’s technical, but never cold. He understands rhythm, pace and texture – why a cut works, why a moment lands, why something feels right even when you can’t explain it.

BRONWEN MACKELLAR  |  EDITOR 

With a career spanning drama, reality, documentary, broadcast television and commercials, Bronwen brings calm, clarity and narrative intelligence to everything she cuts.
She’s technically fluent, creatively intuitive, and unflappable under pressure. The kind of editor directors trust when it really matters.
