Project summary:

The tension between illusion and reality has always been a vitally important theme to my practice. I’m attracted to the creation of unusual situations that initially mislead or subvert the narrative. I’m particularly interested by the continually evolving cinematic language of film as a way of communicating with the viewer.

In my previous film work ‘Untitled Actress’ I considered the way current media embraces the early effects, using back screen projection instead of CGI. I will continue exploring production methods and older effects that are now free from their original purpose as the replacement of real.

I am also interested in investigating the relationship between a film and its audience, the fluxing balance that exists between an enlightened viewer deconstructing a film and an engrossed participant who emotes and is captivated by the narrative.
