Namibian filmmaker.

From a trainee/bursary student of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), she passionately pursued her dream of becoming a director. In 2000, after completing her National Diploma in Video Production in Durban, she returned to NBC, but sought greener pastures with bigger challenges in 2003.
She was part of the pioneering team when ONE Africa Television was launched in November 2003 and, after five years of wearing the hat as Creative Director and Head of Production, took the bold step of joining the independent filmmaking market. She registered her own production company, RedHot Film Productions cc. and continued to produce and direct for the Namibian market.
Mrs Stein has directed a variety of genres over the years - LIVE TV broadcasts, magazine programs, game shows, social documentaries and corporate videos. She also directed and produced Namibia's 1st ever reality show, Just Fabulous, broadcasted on ONE Africa Television in 2009.
Her entry into the world of film came through her selection as co-writer and producer for the Namibian Film for Desert Soul Namibia/ Soul City SA in the One Love series, televised in 9 countries across Southern Africa, including South Africa in 2010. Mrs. Stein directed various television commercials for major corporate players in the Namibian market, since 2010 to date. This ensured her a firm place in the local director's pool. In 2012 Mrs Stein directed a short educational film for GIPF, titled'Your Claim, Your Right'. She was the producer of the short film'Dead River' in the Namibia Film Commission's Film Project 2011/2012.'Dead River' won 3 awards at the 2012 Namibia Film and Theatre Awards.
RedHot Film Production's on-going passion project, the Namibian Women Web Series, is Mrs. Stein's longtime dream, embarked upon in 2012. The 13-part series will be printed on DVD and launched in August/September 2014.
Her Short film COMING HOME (2014) in competition at Fespaco 2015.
