About / Our Crew
The crew behind the camera.
Visio isn't a one-person show. We assemble the right specialists for every brief from a trusted core crew and a wider pool of freelance collaborators - directors, cinematographers, photographers, editors, and audio specialists.
Founder & Executive Producer

Visio started more than 15 years ago, when founding producer and professional musician Carina Bruwer began producing visual content for music projects. That grew into a full production house - Carina now leads Visio's creative direction and client relationships, drawing on 15+ years of photography and production experience across South Africa and internationally.

Founder of SILO Art Motion Stills and our Johannesburg-based director of photography, Gerrie specialises in event, corporate, and drone videography, with credits spanning television commercials and documentary cinematography. He gives Visio a consistent, locally-based production partner for clients with a Johannesburg footprint, including our ongoing work for the World Health Organization and RUBRO Iced Rooibos.
How We Staff Projects
Lean when the brief calls for it, full-scale when it doesn't.
Beyond our core crew, we draw on a trusted network of freelance directors, cinematographers, photographers, editors, stylists, and audio specialists - so every project gets the exact skill set it needs, without paying for a bigger crew than the brief requires.
