acorn land

short promo piece I made for a children’s outdoor recreation center in Shikoku, Japan. Was originally there to film a day-long event but we decided to also make something that could be used to promote the location. all made from shots taken at a real, unscripted event.

the people at the hiroshima atomic bomb memorial day

what it says in the title. filmed at the 65th hiroshima atomic bomb memorial day, the short film focuses on the diverse people gathered, rather than the ceremonies.

the people of christchurch, new zealand

I randomly asked people gathered in the public square, in front of the Christchurch Cathedral, now destroyed by the christchurch earthquakes of 2011, if I could film them. just them, not saying anything, just being there. inspired by Philip Bloom’s people series.

turned out that all were either immigrants or visitors to new zealand.
