RADIO INTERVIEW

Laura Hollick of Souldartstudios interviewed me recently as part of a series of interviews she is doing with people she has collabrated with in the past. It feels very strange to hear your own voice in a recording. The interview covers my film work and a series of photographs we worked on a few years ago. The photographs were a series of blurry images where I was 'Dollying' with a still camera to get some unique images. The goal was to capture the essence of movement using ‘blurry images’.
Here's the link to the interview:

Omni Cannes Interview 2009


Back in April Omni interviewed me and they finally aired it last week. I'm still not very comfortable seeing myself on camera. I'd like to think I've overcome all my self-image issues but I'm still not quite ready to see myself on Television. Marketing and promoting yourself is very important and I know I have to do as many interviews as possible but I'm still struggling with this part of filmmaking. Whenever I see myself in Television interviews I feel like I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone. I'm still unsure if I'm ready to do the marketing and promotional events we have planned for next year. If I was ready for it, then maybe I wouldn't have to do it. Sometimes you need to become someone else to get where you want to go. I hope that I'm changing and growing in a positive direction.

Cannes Film Festival


'A Day in the Life' is in the Cannes Film Festival - Short Film Corner. I'm not sure I'll be able to go but the film will be there.

If the travel grant comes through I might be able to go but we'll have to wait and see. I hope to be able to make a few sales from here and do what I can without actually being there. Special thanks to the cast and crew for all their hard work. I'll update you as soon as I have any more information.

By Passing Light
By studying and simplifying colour and composition this series of photographs isolates form and texture to celebrate the beauty of urban decay documenting the unique quality of light in and around the city of San Francisco. The series of images invite the viewer to look at our everyday surroundings as a collection of simple colours and shapes, as if through the eyes of a child.
Through the chemical process of bleach by-passing the images powerfully isolate dense areas of color, creating compositions which begin to take on the look and feel of a painting.

Alleys of Rome
This series is a collection of non-traditional images from the alleys of Rome, capturing a city known for its architecture and art from the alleys and darker corners. The images attempt to move away from postcard images and display the beauty and textures found in the heart of the city streets.

Time Capsule


This image is a collection of about 100 pictures in one JPEG. It's strange for me to look at one image that is made out of pictures from the last 5 or 6 years. A weird kind of time capsule looking back at the last few years but at the same time looking forward asking me 'What's next?'
