Shooting People

I work for a company or organisation

Web skills for filmmakers, distribution strategy, documentary programming, writing on independent film and technology

I LOVE documentaries, most recently blown away by Enjoy Poverty!, Waltz with Bashir, The Horse Boy (aka Over the Hills and Far Away), In A Dream and Winnebago Man. Also love: There Will Be Blood, The Wrestler, Shortbus, Fast Cheap and Out of Control, The Squid and the Whale, Together, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Lives of Others, Raising Victor Vargas. Most short films on Wholphin.

Any sappy film where animals get lost and have to find their way home despite nearly drowning and being chased by rabid wolves and large bears

I can't leave DURING a film even if it's so bad it leaves me depressed for weeks

Errol Morris, David Gordon Green, Lukas Moodysson, Werner Herzog, John Cameron Mitchell

Donald Sutherland (oh my god, have you seen him in Fellini's Cassanova? Unbelievable!), Peter Sarsgaard (he's so dreamy), Meryl Streep (Out of Africa is one of my guilty pleasures, I love every overblown minute of it)

You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve

The Gift, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, What is the What, Mukiwa, Don't Let's Go to The Dogs Tonight, What A Carve Up, Foucault for Beginners (ha!), 28 Stories of AIDS in Africa, Midlands

Haribo Sour Mix and Tattinger Champagne

My dad's old Super8 camera, a steely will in the face of insurmountable obstacles

I love documentaries. I love independent films. I love short films. I love making things and pulling things apart. I love Meerkats. I love cheese. I love tequila, whisky, red wine and beer but not necessarily in that order because that would be bad. I want a pair of moon boots and to live forever.
