We’re for Namibians: Kyle Routh

Kyle (“Net vir die is”): A Cinematic Storyteller with a Smile

Creative Director | Filmmaker | Namibian Voice of Joy

In a world that often elevates polished perfection, Kyle Routh, also known online as Net vir die is, reminds us that charisma, humour, and the courage to create are just as powerful. With a camera in hand and a heart full of energy, he crafts moments that feel cinematic, cheeky, and warmly relatable, all with a dash of Namibian pride. That blend of sincerity and style forms the essence of who he is, and what he brings to every frame.

Meet the Man Behind the Name

When asked to describe himself, Kyle likened his artistic persona to a superhero identity:

In his words, his online alias “Net vir die is” embodies his cinematic, story-driven approach, seeking to not just entertain but also hold space for emotion, connection, and cultural resonance.

Crafting Stories with a Smile

Kyle’s craft operates at the intersection of film, humour, and authenticity. He wants his work to be “cinema for everyone”, pieces that feel accessible and delightful, yet deeply creative.

“On social media… the creativity that everyone brings is amazing. And that just shows the talent of Namibians.”

His goal? To create content that reflects real life in Namibia, its humour, its soul, and its vibrant storytelling.

Choosing Stories that Feel Real

Whether he’s editing a short film or capturing candid gems, Kyle bets on one thing: authenticity. His creative compass? Moments that make him (and his audience) feel alive, or in his words:

“Comedy is the main thing for me.”

It’s this light-hearted authenticity that gives his work a distinctly Namibian flavour: relatable, joyful, and rooted in real culture, not just performance.

Advice for Creators: Don’t Wait. Start Now

When asked what he’d tell aspiring creators, Kyle’s message is simple, powerful:

“Don’t care about other people’s opinions… Don’t be shy. Just start.”

It’s a rallying cry for anyone setting out with a phone, a dream, and a dash of courage. Because even a rough start can be the foundation of something brilliant.

Creator, Citizen, Connector

Kyle reflects on how being a creator has helped him find his place in Namibia’s story, both as an individual and a voice among many:

“Start your content creation. I think that’s the most important thing… Content creators are the influencers.”

To him, creativity isn’t just an endeavour, it’s a form of cultural connection, a bridge between everyday life and shared identity.

FlyNamibia: Bridging Stories and Skies

Kyle also recognises FlyNamibia’s role in enabling visibility for creatives across the country, making their journeys and their stories accessible and seen.

“The creativity that everyone brought in (through the Face of FlyNamibia campaign)… shows the talent of Namibians.”

We Are For Namibians

So what does “We Are For Namibians” mean to Kyle?

“It’s a big one… It’s much nicer to play with that spirit.”

For him, it’s about being part of a larger narrative, one that celebrates who we are, how we laugh, and how we connect. It’s about elevating creativity, culture, and authenticity, together.

“I’m Kyle… And we are for Namibians.”

With that, he steals the frame, just as he intends.
