Documentary storytelling and true indie filmmaking
A curated selection of features, shorts and documentary work all intended for the big screen. I don’t believe there is any great difference between fiction and non fiction filmmaking. My fiction films are documents of a kind and I always try to let real life intervene. My documentary films are at times more ‘directed’ than my dramatic work. Ultimately, I can only make something that I truly believe in. I have received funding on several occasions to write and direct my own projects, including development funding for a feature film project.
They say there’s only two types of films; films about films and films about life. My films definitely fall into the later category. Genre, conventions and references are good fun but ultimately I’m interested in humanity and particularly, individuals. Filmmaking isn’t simply storytelling, it’s a way of understanding ourselves and the world and at the best, it can extend empathy and create unity.
