THABO ANDREW BOOM

Dynamic and enthusiastic producer skilled in conceptualizing and show-running shows. I have been in multiple levels of production, from writing and story-lining to managing both cast and crew across multiple productions. I am innovating and often explore unfamiliar territories both in story and management styles. I am committed to creating content that celebrates south African audiences in their diversity with a strong and keen focus on young black people. Highly organized and detail-oriented producer successfully manages projects, plans productions and leads teams. Experienced in budget management and client engagement.
