Eleven

I have found 2 new boys to interview for ELEVEN, Obey I met through a boxing club in the east end. Billy is chatty and lives in Angel. South of France next week to shoot more for Eleven.

Had a good time at Sheffield Doc Fest last weekend. The highlight was seeing We Are Together, am amazing film. Check out their website www.wearetogether.org
You can read about the film on the site.

If you click here you can listen to my fave song from the film, sung by am amazing 7 year old, who is now approaching 11, if you get my drift! I now have my heart set on going to South Africa to meet Mbali. Her song is number 2, Pigogo, you can only hear a sample but her spirit comes blasting out of the speakers! I love it! Going to buy the CD now.

Happy Day is also very cool, but even more fun when you see the kids singing it in the studio. Such amazing faces and voices! I want a copy of the film to watch over and over. Now thats the sign of a great film! Its also extremely sad. It is such an important film, and I hope it gets released widely in Australia.

Long time no blog

I have not blogged in a while, I have been very busy shooting and editing in London.
Have just finished 3 new music videos, take a look!



This is for Miou Miou shot Sep 1 in East Bohemia Czech Republic.

I am currently focussing on ELEVEN finding interesting kids here in London to shoot. Next week I head to the South of France. In December I am going to Morocco to shoot at a blind school which I am looking forward to very much.
