International award for South African producer

Klein was placed first out of 13 000 entries from across the world at the Hollywood festival.

“I have had considerable success at the US Festival in the past few years, having won two third places and one second place. But, to have the production awarded top honour is indeed an amazing achievement,” comments Klein.

“For the past 11 years, I have been working closely with the Sunday Times, and the Top 100 event is very special to me. I have had the opportunity to interview and create high profile presentations on all of the past Lifetime Achievers. Apart from being able to tell the life stories of South Africa's legends of commerce and industry, I have also been very fortunate to have interfaced with the most prominent people, and find these presentations massively inspiring, as success stories have a great rub-off effect on me. Nelson Mandela's presentation was an obviously a highlight.”

Concludes Klein, “I am also pleased to have been recognised at a major international ceremony, held in Hollywood, and to showcase fine South African talent, which helps to maintain the great standards our industry enjoys.”
