Dedicated to:

Dedicated to my creativity and work that takes me beyond routine. Innovating Video Artist and Film Maker & Media Professional always seeking for a new way of expressing life through a lens onto the screen.

My continuous exploration lies in merging performance art and motion picture together in a profound and innovating way, creating an art-form in which you extend the physical ways of expression in motion picture and visa versa.

Using all analogue and physical techniques, against computer generated input...

Creating both self-explorational experiences for the fellow seeker for truth though creative and self-developing workshops.

Film for me can move people in ways that no form of art can do.

Film is a recollection of recorded moments, brought together in a way to create a new moment within the moment of you experiencing it. It is an extention of a 2 sense experience, experiencing a recording of moments in other people's lives as seen from different perspectives within a small amount of time. In this way you can go beyond what is possible in your daily moment. In Hollywood they use this possibility to hide away from the truth by going beyond, making entertainment an extention of reality.

You can use this form of entertainment to get your mind of things, or get your mind into things... It's your pick.

In theatre and in performance art you experience the actual moment as happening live on stage, you are part of that moment, it is your lives moment. That's what I love about theatre.

I love exploring new cultures and meeting new people from all around the world. Every day for me brings something new, at least that is what I seek for. Everything I do I do for a good cause. I dedicate myself to life as a being being in being...

Love connects the people that mean something for eachother... The more people that mean something to you and to who you mean something to, the more connected you are to the meaning of life...

Favorite quotes

LIFE = Leaving Ignorance Finding Enlightenment - Morris P. Savier

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Einstein
