We’re proud to announce that award-winning television director Catharine Cooke has joined our directing roster!
Catharine’s work speaks for itself — from the gripping White Lies (2024), hailed by The Times UK as Channel 4’s must-watch, to the groundbreaking Reyka, South Africa’s most widely sold series, which went on to be nominated for an International Emmy. She’s a triple SAFTA winner with a flair for sharp storytelling and pulse-pounding drama.
Known for her fearless approach, Catharine thrives on collaboration and pushing genre boundaries. Whether it’s dark thrillers or high-stakes action, her stories are as compelling as they are visually arresting.
Now turning her focus toward developing South African narratives for local and international screens, Catharine brings an exceptional combination of vision, skill, and story instinct to every frame.
“Catharine is one of the most seasoned television directors in South Africa, a true powerhouse, and we are thrilled to welcome Catharine to our MLA Directors family.” — Nina Morris Lee
