JANA VON HASE

Filmmaker & Film Fixer 
​
As a Namibian filmmaker and storyteller, I am dedicated to crafting compelling narratives that shine a light on social, environmental, and governance issues in Africa. My work is rooted in the belief that every story deserves to be told, particularly those that highlight the voices of local communities. With years of experience as a Director, Writer, and Producer, I aim to engage audiences and foster a deeper understanding of sustainability, rights, and the intricate relationships between communities and their environments.

I have extensive experience in film fixing, production management, and production assistance throughout Namibia's diverse and often remote landscapes. Over the years, I have supported both large-scale international productions and smaller documentary crews, providing local expertise, logistical coordination, and on-the-ground solutions. My portfolio includes work on internationally recognized productions such as ZDF's 'Das Traumschiff 'and 'Skeleton Coast' for ARD Degeto, giving me a deep understanding of the unique requirements of filming in Namibia.
​
Join me as I explore the beauty and complexity of African stories through the lens of documentary filmmaking, where each project serves as a platform for the unheard and a celebration of diverse cultures and the natural world. Let's embark on this storytelling journey together, where every frame captures the essence of real-life experiences and transformative narratives.
