'Castles' done and dusted

2011-12-06T08:12:00.001Z

It was with great joy that we wrapped up the second and final day of shooting Penny Foster's debut music video 'Castles'. It was, as expected, crazy, flamboyant and fun. Lots of people in the sexiest day of the shoot.

Now the editing begins and in two weeks the video will come out of its shell.

Let the countdown begin.

Penny Foster music video

2011-11-25T17:56:00.002Z

On an intimate but highly creative environment, I've directed day 1 of Penny Foster's new music video "Castles". It was a very good shoot and a very good location in the heart of London.

There's still day 2 to go which will be a lot crazier.
Lets get ready for it...

New Projects

2011-10-29T16:50:00.001+01:00

After all that I've done, I still like to embrace new challenges and new projects with my arms wide open.
I've met incredible and talented people in my life and always thought that we could stand together and do something really really positive.
I'm fortunate to find myself involved with creative and talented people, who take their art seriously enough to push through the hard walls that we currently face.

New projects are on the horizon like music videos, a few promos, art videos and luckily a feature film. It looks like 2011 is going to end the best possible way and seems that 2012 will be a great year not only for myself, but also for all my talented and creative friends.

Let's keep on pushing.

Thank you Steve Jobs

2011-10-06T12:15:00.000+01:00

Today, like millions of people around the world, I woke up to the news of the passing of Steve Jobs. A genius in his own right, a visionary that changed the world forever. Without his revolutionary ideas the planet as we know it, would not exist.

As a filmmaker I would like to thank Steve Jobs and all at Apple Inc., all the input that he and his company made to my industry. He turned many people's dream into a reality, including mine.

Thank you Steve. The world will never forget you.
