About Us
established in 2023
From the germ of an idea to the realisation of a dream, The Edit Booth‘s journey began with a single flash of inspiration and a fierce determination to succeed.
Dirk Lombard Fourie began his prolific journey as a video editor, filmmaker, and writer 25 years ago. In 2001, his film Ouma Plaas won the Flame Award for Best Screenplay. The following year, his short film Teaching Stanley won the NTVA Stone Award for Best Short Film. He graduated from City Varsity Film, Television and Multimedia School in 2002, majoring in directing.
His talent continued to shine, and in 2007, his film In God’s Country (co-written by Daniel E. Dercksen)won the Jury Prize Award at the Apollo International Film Festival.
Dirk’s exceptional skills as a video editor were recognised in 2013 when he won the Vodacom award for Best Television Program, Against All Odds, in both the regional and national competitions.
Since then, Dirk has been involved in international productions as video editor of documentaries, TV programs, and content for social media for various local and international broadcasting channels and clients such as eTV, eNCA, BGTN, South African Tourism, Nala Media and Tiger’s Milk.
His storytelling prowess extends to the written word, with two published short stories, The Dress and the first of a trilogy, Hearts and Bones, available on Amazon Kindle.
In his spare time, he also writes film reviews for his website, The Edit Booth.
The Edit Booth has been providing high-quality video editing, transcription, and script reading and analysis services since Dirk Lombard Fourie began his prolific journey as a video editor, filmmaker, and writer 25 years ago. It also offers screenplay and novel writing training, as well as film and video project development.
