Since its inception in early 2006, Eentweedee has seen many changes and phases of growth. Focussing initially on theatre, Eentweedee staged successful productions in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and at the KKNK festival. It was in this time that Dee began to hone her dense visual style, literally taking the stop motion, projection and lighting techniques she learned in her theatre work and applying them to a budding career as a conceptualiser and director of music videos.

In 2007 Eentweedee was asked by Global Studio to create New Mindsets, a 28 min documentary concering Goal 7 of the UN Taskforce; improving the lives of slum dwellers across the globe. Focusing on the Southern African cities of Johannesburg and Maputo, the film recorded a project where architecture and planning students from 1st world countries attempted to assist slum dwellers in improving their housing situation on their own by the passing on of simple building techniques.

2008 saw a more sustained shift from music videos, with Dee beginning a two year stint as an in house director for the Television magazine show Kwela, and the production of Eentweedee’s first full length documentary, Blissfully Lost. Commissioned by the pharmaceutical company Boeringher Ingelheim, produced by eentweedee and directed by Nele Jensen and Dee Lourens, Blissfully Lost looked at the decline in HIV and Aids awareness in Western and Central Europe at the time. Charting an epic journey through the cities of Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Liverpool, Manchester, Delft and Paris, this 58 minute film was universally admired, described variously as, “like an extended music video… leading the viewer on a journey through time and place” and, “a beautiful and important film” by its viewers.

Following this Eentweedee Directed, Produced and Edited L’Eau Qui Dort for IFAS, a short format documentary on Melancholy and its relationship to stage acting in Paris (France), partly photographed and edited Afrika(e)Motion for Goethe Institutes in South Africa, (Ghana, Abijan and Mozambique), and Directed and Edited the 24 part cooking show Ziets, starring Elzabe Zietsman.

Eentweedee completed post production on their second full length documentary entitled “Kinross, the story of a town” in February 2011. Commissioned by ESST and The National Department of Health, the film is set in a rural community in Mpumalanga Province, South Afica, and specifically questions why, even after a relatively successful education and awareness campaign by Governement and various other agencies, HIV infection rates remain high in the rural areas.
