Bio

Public Bio

My current projects:

We are currently neck-deep in a doc about filmmakers breaking the subject-filmmaker relationship boundaries.
Eat Songs follows Ntzu, an immigrant from Scotland back to his homeland in Ghana for the first time in twelve years. Followed by two documentary-makers, their relationship becomes increasingly complex, resulting in a situation where Ntzu depends more on the film than the filmmakers on him. The story ends as the filmmakers painfully separate themselves from Ntzu's poverty situation and try to come to terms with their film and their subject.

My latest doc, Just to Get a Rep a feature about international graffiti culture is now available for online download. We are using a pay-what-you-think-it's-worth model and simultaneously distributing via peer-to-peer file-sharing. Check out our platform here: http://www.justtogetarep.com

By the way, I designed and programmed The D-Word... and I occasionally take on new clients for websites...
