City Harvest

Found these fat bananas in the neighbourhood. Beats going to the supermarket in the mall! It took two of us to carry it home.

Just Like That

Just like that
After reading a book
Which posed the right questions
In a matter of 2 hours
A map
A framework
A structure for the film
Appeared
On a scroll of baking paper
Drawn with markers

Strange sometimes
How this project evolves
I know
I am the one doing it
Yet there seems to be another force
Cheering and steering
As if
This story wants to be told
Needs to be told
For reasons
Beyond
Just me

Musical Passion

Brass band, Maastricht, Netherlands.

There is one style of music that really gets me going: Balkan Brass music. Live is best. I have filmed brass musicians during my 18 months of travel, not as much as I'd liked to and unfortunately hardly any when I was in eastern Europe. I have decided to add a new page (blog) to my collection called Mad about (Balkan) Brass. It will become a collection of footage of balkan/gypsy/brass music, both borrowed and my own recordings. You can find a permanent link to Mad About (Balkan) Brass on the right of this page.
