What did you film on 12.12.12?
Stories of spaces, places and people. Something that might seem commonplace to one person may be surreal to another. Happenstance plays a large role in how I capture images, roaming through an area and letting the syntax of place spark imagination. Standing on the beach watching sunset in the arabian gulf, downtown on christmas eve in hong kong, or bugs buzzing around a lonely light in a village in Ghana.
Using a phrase from Saul Bass, I'm interested in making the ordinary extraordinary.

    Hi Michael, thanks for your message! GOod luck on the editing, would love to see your film when it's done - I had a great time in Ghana (even though I didn't see much besides the refugee settlement!). And looking forward to images of Doha too!!
