Janine Vasilantonakis | Producer

.........“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
Janine, who has been a successful producer for both the South African and International markets in Johannesburg and Cape Town for the last thirteen years, is now a part of The Network.

Janine, loves her career in film for the diversity and challenges it brings, causing her to constantly re-evaluate herself; not just in a business sense, but also, in the way she relates to other people; constantly, having to update her sense of self through the mixed media of emotions, thoughts and ideas that come with every project she produces. “It really is all about one's interaction with the people, with the content, and the energy that you expend; when you apply yourself 100% to achieve the intended goal. If a person is confident enough in the way they feel, whether it’s an art form or whether it’s just in life, it comes off – you don’t have anything to prove; you can just be who you are".

Favourite Quotes:
“Take your profession seriously; don’t take yourself seriously. Don’t take yourself seriously in the process, because you really only matter to a certain degree in the whole circus out here. If you take yourself seriously you’re not going to be able to move forward and use your best artistic instincts. You’re going to be hampered by always wanting to look in the mirror and see if you have enough tuna oil on your hair or something like that.” - Clint Eastwood
