Director's Work

Hein studied graphic art and photography. After graduating, he started working on camera in the early 1990s, the boom years of the film and Television advertising industry in South Africa. He was privileged to work with some of the world's best filmmakers, and counts this experience as invaluable in the learning and honing of his craft.
During a career that spans almost two decades, he has worked on numerous feature films: District 9, Mr Bob, I Dreamed of Africa, 10 000 BC, The Poseidon Adventure, Catch a Fire, Doomsday, The Diamond Hunters, as well as an array of local and international television shows like the BBC's History of America and History of the World. His camera work includes music videos for Seal, Dido, Robbie Williams, Will Young and Mandoza, as well as more than 300 international television commercials, and a wide spectrum of documentaries.

Hein lives in Cape Town, with his two bilingual black cats.
