Bio
Hendrik Lombard
Yvette is one of that rare breed; a director and producer. She has the organisational chops and leadership qualities necessary to be the latter, but also the artistic vision and technical prowess required of the former. It's right there in her company's name: films with *substance*. I've seen her skilfully manage long-term incremental documentary work as well as demanding fast-paced multi-camera live outside broadcasts. Her work speaks for itself, but it's the experience of working with her that will have you coming back for more. She is inspired and inspiring. Hire her!
