I’m an experimental filmmaker and academic. Currently I am pursing a PhD of ‘Chance in Filmmaking’ at the University of Plymouth. In terms of my work, I am way more interested in the process of how a creation is made, as opposed to the final piece itself.
I try to use ‘chance methods’ in order to aide in my creation process – for example prompts, restrictions, and arbitrary rules. These are used as an opportunity to increase my creativity, forcing me to think ‘out of the box’ and make new discoveries.
Serendipity and ‘the Butterfly Effect’ are both areas in which I have a keen interest – I try to take notes on each part of my process and am always amazed to see the unexpected paths my work has taken me. Watching mundane events snowball into interesting ones never gets old.
