When I film, I am looking, in each moment,
to capture some essential aspect of the the person, place or thing - or "world" - that I am filming. I then arrange and shape particular moments, while editing, so that an underlying beauty or order is revealed progressively, and the spirit of the subject is understood in a larger context.
I am equally at home with long form - feature length films, and the challenge of integrating their larger architecture - and with the miniature: something honestly and exquisitely distilled.
It is important that my films have a richness and layers which give them more than just and immediate appeal. In editing and post production, I like to keep working until I reach something unifying and powerful that lies at the essence of what I have filmed - not imposing preconceived ideas, but seeking what is uniquely there. Through this process, something timeless and enduring emerges. In finding a hidden order in things that may seem to be isolated, random or chaotic, a particular beauty is revealed.
