Ralph Ziman

Ralph Ziman was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he worked as a news and documentary cameraman. In the early ‘80s, he moved to the U.K. and currently lives in Los Angeles. He has directed over 400 videos for artists as diverse as Ozzy Osbourne, Elton John, Toni Braxton, Michael Jackson and Shania Twain, and two feature films, “Hearts and Minds” and “The Zookeeper.” His latest film, “Gangster’s Paradise: Jerusalmea,” is an unflinching look into the crime, corruption and the transgressions of those looking to survive in the most crime-infested district of Johannesburg.
