Renée did a Bachelor of Arts degree at UCT and was a postgraduate student at the same university when she did honours in English. Renée has always had a passion for theatre and attended the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg, where she majored in drama. She loves meeting new people and learning new things. She also enjoys the beautiful outdoors, and thus the wonderful scenery the Cape has to offer.

Caryn received a BComm degree from Stellenbosch University as well as a diploma in Journalism at City Varsity in Cape Town. Zoopy gives Caryn the opportunity to do something different and learn something new everyday. She enjoys hearing what people have to say and discovering new things, especially in a city that has so much to offer.

Being an only child, I grew up living in my own film. Movies took me on a journey into worlds I only dreamed of, which is why I have such a passion for film. I am the friend everyone goes to for movie advice and have always had a flair (for lack of a better word, although it sounds pageanty!) for acting like a loon on camera as well as off, but at the end of the day I take movies very seriously and love all genres. I don't beat around the bush and though some may not agree but every opinion counts, especially mine :)

Linda has a strong passion for film and has always wanted to work in a creative crazy space where he'd be allowed to be himself: eccentric and totally random. He has been involved in different industries and hopes his past exposure to different things in the big wide world will be an asset to the Zoopy team.

Fresh out of "High School Biology 101", Viwe loves all things visually appealing. At Zoopy, he has the opportunity to explore his creativity and to take a more hands-on approach to his passion for online communities. Ultimately, Viwe aspires to be one of the greatest videographers known to man.

James has spent the last three years behind a camera and shot inserts and content for everything from TV and corporate to music videos and online. Before that he studied at Vega where he got a degree in Art Direction. Having decided that advertising was not the direction he wanted to go in, he found himself working his way up the production ladder, as one does. James believes that online TV is the new frontier when it comes to production and he's excited to be a part of the creative platform he's found in Zoopy.
