I have worked with Donald in my previous capacities as Head of Original Productions (M-Net) Head of Drama (SABC) and as an independent consultant. We worked together on a number of highly-rated and award-winning productions such as MasterChef SA and My Story. Donald is familiar with a wide variety of television genres and has an excellent understanding of game and reality formats. He is extremely good at adapting and localising TV programmes for specific audiences. I was confident that I could rely on his broad experience to execute large, costly projects with many strong personalities and variable components. I appreciated Donald's ability to take in feedback from clients and respond to the specifics of brief requirements. Donald's skills as an executive producer and director enable him to understand and guide both the creative and technical processes involved in TV production. Donald prides himself on familiarity with new content and technology trends, seeking to integrate fresh ideas into his projects. Donald evidences excellent attention-to-detail, and will patiently work on refining the final product for the highest quality. Creatively, he appreciates subtly and nuance, and is comfortable with brainstorming and generating ideas. I would recommend Donald Clarke highly.
