Enlightening conversations with Lola Thorne are really exploring authenticity within my art form of cinema. Clarity is bursting through as I dare to think of what I can achieve when I choose paths that believe in and nourish my dreams. Cinema is a vessel for magical travelling.

Super rough and ready behind the scenes edit from Where the Shadows Meet the Light. Gives you a bit of a flavour of the magic behind the camera that made our wonderful short film.

Working with the masterful camera work of superstar filmmakers @danieljsongray @PishdaadC

Where the Shadows Meet the Light was a daring and ambitious piece that only happened because of the creative talent, passions and determinations of so many wonderful people.

This film is a philosophical journey into existence, creating a cinematic poem inspired by Plato's Allegory of the Cave - it is a moving painting, creating an atmosphere in cinema from an artistic voice I have honed over the past 10 years as a filmmaker.

[Studio Bokehgo // John Slemensek @BOKEHGO]

For the past 10 years this organisation has achieved incredible things, and its impact will resonate far and wide.
