I
understand the mechanics of a film camera and how film reacts to light
and I can see a series of images when holding up film to light. There
is an indescribable magical quality to these images.I believe that
filmmaking is a medium of constraints and this encourages the filmmaker
to think and act in different ways and to be creative at all times. For
me celluloid is not just another image capture medium, theres an
endearing simplicity to it.
I
like to tell stories that unfold in an unusual way, stories that break
conventions of standard and accepted narrative structures, whether it's
through characterisation, photography, editing, music or sound. I aim
to tell interesting, challenging and textured stories steeped in atmosphere
that engage with the viewer on a deep emotional level. At the heart of
everything I do is an exploration of visual storytelling and I want to
take the viewer on a stimulating visual cinematic journey. I many ways
I prefer an organic and bohemian approach to story telling.
