The camera is a vehicle that allows an access to certain life experiences we wouldn't normally have access to. It opens people up and grants a unique intimacy with the subjects. Documentary films should share with the viewer this intimacy with the subjects, and should take the viewer somewhere he or she has never been before. My philosophy for making films is to submerge myself into the lives of my subjects - to develop a relationship with them based on trust and understanding. I believe that most of the conflicts results from lack of communication between people. I would like my camera to show and listen to both sides of the issues. It is my small way of changing the world and I think the documentary is an ideal tool to do so. I am interested in people’s lives and I believe that a camera is a good tool to ... More »
