Yvette Oosthuisen

Line Producer

Yvette’s years of work in natural history documentaries, factual series, reality television and commercials have had a profound effect on both her skill set and life experiences. Her specialisations are line producing, field producing, fixing and creative development. Navigating her way through the tricky world of permitting has also become a fine-tuned skill. Her ethos – efficiency, authenticity and care for our planet and its people.

Among many more, some well- known clients are the BBC, Discovery, Disney, Netflix, Plimsoll, Silverback Films and Talesmith TV. Yvette has had a hand in numerous well-known productions: My Octopus Teacher, Penguin Town, Planet Earth, Our Planet, Hostile Planet, Animal and even Coldplay’s Everyday Life.

Her work has taken her to a wonderful array of fascinating places – Yvette is also an avid adventure free diver and underwater photographer. She has been outside the cage with around twelve species of sharks and three of whales!

In short, Yvette covers a wide field of experience and applies it at every opportunity. Her role within Emerge Films is to ensure the best quality research, pre-production, production, post production and delivery of every project we embark upon.
