“Odie is a rare gem, and an absolute treat to work with. He is a highly skilled and authentic impact storyteller. The work that he contributed to and delivered for our organisation ranged from strategic input for setting up a content creation and story-telling facility, up-skilling and mentoring story tellers in the organisation, delivering high quality video content and contributing to a working groups in the organisation, defining our approach to story telling as an organisation. All Odie’s projects were a great success”

Experience
I have more than 12 years of experience working with non-profits in different industries and countries. Among other projects, I have worked on early childhood education in the USA and Nigeria, social innovation in India, and youth development in South Africa.
I also filled a leadership role at an NGO for 4 years, which helps me really understand how non-profits function and therefore what the best approach is to storytelling in this space.

About Me
MY NAME IS odendaal
I worked in pop culture and the more commercial film industry for a while but quickly realized it’s not for me. Especially as a South African, I want to be involved in efforts to improve things after our difficult history. I use a design thinking approach to projects that ensures the human being we want to impact is at the center. I closely collaborate with clients to understand their industry and community before starting any creative work. I use agile project management tools & processes to get things done on time and within budget. Although I specialise in short documentaries and creative projects, I also do a lot of training, especially in youth development. Finally, along with some partners in the film industry, I produce educational and informative videos for organisations doing training.
