Many of my films evolve from a single shot, and quite often that shot is an immediate response to a situation unfolding in front of me. This is about the closest I get to improvising, a musical form I sometimes aspire to, but is difficult to attain as a filmmaker. That was how I shot the majority of films in this programme, using the convenience of the mobile phone in my pocket. I often sense immediately that something might be made from the situation I find myself in, but only after studying the shots on my computer do I discover the direction they might take. The third film Pause clearly involved some planning, but again, after the initial recording, I had to work with the fragments of sound and image to see where they might lead, in a lengthy process of trial and error. In Interior Music I am using the camera in direct response to music emanating from the Trinity Conservatoire in Greenwich. (EXiS — Experimental Film and Video Festival in Seoul, 2026)
