Every film, on one timeline

Scroll and the timeline above runs: my films laid end to end at their own lengths, the sound beneath them, and the one on air lit in red. A cut like this decides whether a film exists or not.

Three films, written by their decisions

Blimbing morning market, 4 minutes

A portrait of a traditional market for the city government. The constraint was light: the market is most alive at four in the morning, when the lamps are yellow and any camera struggles.

Three consecutive mornings with one small light and fast 24 and 85 mm lenses. Released on twenty channels and still used by the city for tourism.

Documentary20254 minutes

A school on the slope, 7 minutes

A primary school of twelve pupils facing closure. The hard part was not the filming but the permissions: minors, and not every parent agreed.

Seven of twelve families gave written consent, and the film was built to hold together without the other five. The school stayed open.

Documentary20247 minutes

Kopi Ranu kitchen, 90 seconds

An advertisement for a small coffee roaster with a one day budget and no paid actors.

One day, 35 and 50 mm lenses, the owner himself on camera. Online sales rose 40 percent in the two months after release.

Ask about shoot dates

Tell me who you want filmed and why now. From that I can estimate how many shoot days and how long the film should be, before we talk about cost.
