Satisfied Customers

We have had the privilege of working with Dorette Potgieter Productions for the second part of 2021. Dorette is able to bring out the natural side of all the shots and videos she produces because she is authentic in what she does. She is insightful, her authenticity and care by which she goes about doing her work is unique. I recommend her to anybody who wants excellent service and quality as she continues to create the magic at our Vuya Foundation.

Aside from excellent inter-personal relational and interactive ability and capacity, achieving challenging objectives and managing inter-personal psychodynamics in hi-stress, tense business and active production situations - from an organizational, administrative and operational perspective - Dorette has impeccable, professional, creative and ethical credentials, working and operating way above-and-beyond the `Call of Duty’. As our principal implementation agent and director for FILM 4 Offenders project for the SA FILM Academy, initiating and managing the programme for Correctional Services under our wing, we have no hesitation in recommending her production, management and operational services delivering on any production directives or mandate, regardless of budget or schedule.

Dorette is one of the most talented and energetic teachers I have encountered. She has a solid grounding in acting for both screen and stage and is deeply involved in community projects. She is supportive of her students and receptive to their ideas. She is an excellent collaborator with an incredibly strong work ethic. In addition, she brings great intelligence and understanding to her teaching. Dorette came to AFDA Post-Graduate to teach screen acting to our Live Performance Honours’ students and the results have been wonderful. She did remarkable work on screen monologues, taking students from initial concept to final delivery and recording the process so they could see and reflect on their own development. Perhaps the most important aspect to mention here is her capacity to inspire the students through her active listening, her empathy and her remarkable energy. In this sense, she is a transformative teacher. She developed a great rapport with the students who trusted her because they knew she was dedicated to delivering top quality education.
