I have worked with Lars on a few projects now and he is as good as they come. Very professional and personable with talent and crew. He is organised, creative, and can enhance any production to make it better. Any production would be extremely lucky to have him on their team.

‪Lars is an exceptionally strong producer whose experience and editorial talents proved invaluable on the production. He did everything with merticulous care and has a great eye for detail in the edit.‬ ‪I’m certain that he’d be an asset to any production wishing to procure his services.‬ ‪Janoush Hicks - Series Edit Producer‬

The Africa Channel and I worked with Lars Schwinges repackaging two seasons of challenge-based interior design reality show series, 'My Design Rules' for Amazon Prime. Lars had been Series Producer on both original seasons in South Africa, where he had crafted all aspects of the show, including the casting of the colorful and entertaining contestants and judges, creating an entertaining format that we saw potential for in a re-edited version for distribution on our own channel in the United States and throughout the world outside of Africa. For the reversioning of the show Lars took on the Edit Producer role and also directed the new host presenter links. Professional and exacting, Lars impressed with his attention to detail and skill in finessing the edit to a superior product. He was a pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation recommending Lars.

About The Africa Channel The Africa Channel is a cable channel that presents multi-cultural programming from Africa and the Diaspora to audiences in North America and the Caribbean. The channel reaches over 10 million viewers and is carried on Comcast, Charter and multiple other cable operators.

I was fortunate to work with Lars on my very first international TV series 'Hayden Quinn South Africa'. Lars has a passion for film, television and production like no other, going above and beyond to create, direct and produce content that is the best it can possibly be. I would very much recommend Lars and I look forward to working with him again in the future! Hayden

I worked for and with Lars for six years at Cardova Productions. To call Lars Schwinges professional would be an understatement. Lars is a natural born leader who always manages to elicit only the best from his team and their work. Everything he delivers is of exceptional quality and executed with both crew and clients smiling from concept to broadcast. His years of experience, witty sense of humour, creativity and cool efficiency make Lars an indispensable asset to any team.

Over the years I have worked with many producers and directors, big names, internationally acclaimed, short stints and long term. Lars Schwinges will always stand out as one of the best I have worked with. I had the privilege of working with Lars for 2 years in South Africa and saw him juggle multiple projects at a time, making it look easy. He is a perfectionist, meticulous, driven, super creative and never accepts anything less than perfect. His 'never say die' attitude motivated- and made fire under everyone who worked with him as he leads by example. Lars is a true professional and a rare find in our industry. It is truly inspiring to watch this man tackle high pressure jobs and impossible situations with a smile on his face and I can only hope to get the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
