Looking for documentary filmmakers for collaboration

Hi.

My name Is Ira, I make documentary films and music videos. I also work in post-production (doing editing and colour grading). I also write, sometimes.

Long story short, I’m looking for people to collaborate with on my and their documentary projects. Preferably in London, but possibly not only. You might have just started your filmmaking career and want some experience or you might have spent years in the industry and just want to do something new and random. There might be a little documentary you always wanted to make but were too busy with bigger projects and need someone to motivate you. It might be that you have this camera you bought ages ago and couldn't find a good time or a reason to use it. You might have been trying to make something meaningful but never figured out what it was. There might be a billion reasons why sometimes we don't do what we want to do. Let's not think about them.

Let's think about our bubbles. Little and big worlds we are stuck in. Places and people too comfortable to take a break from. Straight paths we create for ourselves without a second thought.

When was the last time you spent a day without your phone or talked to a “stranger” on the street? How often do you talk about filmmaking to people you don’t know much outside of mostly stressful and tiring networking/industry events? How much do you value serendipity on the scale from 1 to 10?

Answering these questions for myself I realised that I want to make some space for something random and different from what I’m doing. Or for similar and specific but looked at from different angles.

Don’t get me wrong, I have projects to work on. We all do. I’m also aware how difficult it is to work with people we don’t know. Thanx to capitalism any communication outside of our comfort zone is an effort.

Anyway, if you feel like it’s something you are interested in - hit me up. If you know other people interested in it - pass it to them.

Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon.

Have a beautiful evening!
