TIMO CRANE

ABOUT

I’m a proudly South African Director and Producer with over 14 years in the film and creative industry. In that time, I’ve told stories across 28 countries, sometimes with a big crew, sometimes on the fly, but always with heart, humour, and a whole lot of intention.

From cars to cosmetics, streaming to sports, I’ve worked across just about every industry, partnering with brands like Netflix, Unilever, Marriott Bonvoy, Lenovo, HP, Volvo, and Jaecoo. But beyond the logos and locations, what drives me is connection, real connection with cast, with crew, with clients, and with the people on the other side of the screen.

Silliness and sass are part of my signature, but so is empathy. I believe the best stories are the ones that make people feel something, and I bring that energy into everything I make. My work isn't just entertainment, it's personal, it's purposeful, and it always carries a substantial Give-a-F*ck Factor!
