TALKS
I make films about artists and their process. I also think a lot about how to make films without losing yourself in the process.
I give talks and lead workshops on documentary craft - the practical stuff (interviews, research, working with subjects) and the less obvious stuff (staying human, balancing art and commerce, building a sustainable practice).
I've spoken at the ICA, Rencontres d'Arles, RCA, and Fabrica.
Topics include:
The art of the interview -
from research to the edit and everything in betweenResearch as creative practice -
how preparation and curiosity shapes everything that followsBalancing personal and commercial work -
Making films for brands without losing sight of your ownWorking with great artists -
Getting artists to trust you, and why that matters more than anythingStaying human whilst making films -
Kindness, craft and sustainability: making films that don't destroy you
These are starting points — I'm always happy to tailor talks to your event or audience.
