Hendré Basson

Screenwriter | Digital Illustrator | Story Editor | Founder of Aphora Studios

What I do

I am a feature film writer with additional experience writing for video games and short films. In addition, I have authored short stories and children's fiction. I also specialize in storybook illustration, story editing/development and digital design.

I am the founder of Aphora Studios, a faith-based creative company that strives to welcome and build a community of Christian creators loving God and people. Our debut project in children's literature, Flower Trouble, will be released in the Winter of 2022.

My experience

I have obtained diplomas in Screenwriting and Animation Concept Art from the world-renowned Vancouver Film School.

Through my education, I received the Golden Controller Award for Best Game Project of the year for writing in various genres and crafting compelling video game narratives for high-budget and indie game IPs.

I have done digital illustration client work for small businesses and a variety of creative entrepreneurs.

I am proficient in Final Draft, Procreate, and Microsoft Office/Powerpoint, and I have a basic introductory understanding of Unreal Engine and Twine. During my post-secondary education, I have also had the opportunity to work and direct a short scene in a Motion Capture Studio.

Why you should work with me

I believe the collaboration process is the key to creative success. As an experienced story editor and developer, I am keen to motivate and guide colleagues, learn from senior talent, and mould an idea into the best it can be.
