Kyla’s work celebrates the chaotic beauty of life, and at its heart is a profound sense of empathy with people. Blessed with an instinctive understanding of performance from a childhood spent observing their performer father at work, their unique filmic style is centered on characters they really believe in, always shot with a highly refined and personal visual sensibility that is striking as well as beautiful.

This two part series entitled ‘Free Surfers’ starts by taking us back in time with Big Wave World champion and three-time Western Province surfing champion, Cass Collier. In a three-minute narration of his eventful childhood, he reveals how his father overcome the racial disparities of Apartheid laws, and introduced his family to some of South Africa’s most beautiful beaches.
