Hello
wondering about find more documentary work having look at the amazing Arri almira I know the approach and disciple is much different. would be interested to work with more documentary crews while shorts and feaure are in moderate demand.
like the long 1970's look soft and difussed most of work still in post. looking for more variety 10min short seem a bit the same at the moment.
need more editors happy to light and shot material as log as god cutters are available to make it work. been viewing the Killing Fields (Jim Clark) and Sophie's Choice for asethetic reference.
feel free to view reels on vimeo.com page.
Thanks

That's a huge question John because there's no simple answer. I imagine that people would say that a passion for the art, skill born of practice and great timing count for a lot. Also it's about relationships. Film making is an intense collaborative job which is increasingly carried out by smaller multitasking teams sharing a mutually proactive aspiration for the whole project. Sure there's still an industrial scale media sector, less personal with a lot more of the old employee / employer and contractee / contractor culture, not a million miles in style from working in many other jobs; there are opportunities there for starting in a trainee/assistant role but there's many people chasing every opening.
The rise of the smaller 'boutique' production company empowered by the ever extrapolating effects of Alan Turing's binary code and Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web (the Digital Renaissance), has opened up whole new vistas and business models for the 21st Century. I was born forty years too early!
May all your aspirations flourish dear fellow.
