This might have been wandering around in the internet quite a bit the last days, but it is also a great film and an interesting topic, even when the focus is on influencers for trends and creativity. Might be interesting to see a film like that about the ‘real’ influencers of our time, that shape the point of views and directions we take in our time. Or the thousands of small influencers in our communities. But anyway, a great film to look at. Really enjoyed it!
I’m pretty busy right now, but I’ll try to give some updates soon. More frequent posts will not come before the end of the year again. Quite some projects in the line right now, that I’ll share one by one in the next weeks. Stay tuned!

Ok, here we go again. A powerful little story, brought together as a little film with so much beauty and depth that I could do nothing else but share it with you here. But beside that it is a wonderful piece of work, Sean also provides us with some thoughts that are worth reading, so I share it with you here. You could read the whole interview here.

As a documentary photographer or film maker, I feel the most important quality is to be present, to be in the moment, aware of the story and environment as it is evolving.  It’s only in doing this that you can witness the moments that are important.  It’s also very important to trust your feelings or intuition…to work from your first instinct without thought.

Technically, film making is in may ways more forgiving than photography. Maybe I feel this because, you have 24 or 60 or more still images happening per second that are telling your story rather than one image.  As powerful as that one image can be, it is one image that becomes the focus of the viewer instead of several that are telling a story. The medium of film is more forgiving in this way.  So, the technical aspect of the framing, lighting, exposure etc. becomes less important than the story. Often a single photo is scrutinized with more fervor than the many photos that make a film.

And last but not least, before I finally leave you with the film: Sean also recorded a audio-commentary for the film that you can see here.
