i live on an island
reaching out, bridging shore to shore

from dream to dream
nightmare to nightmare
woman to man
to man
to woman
woman to being
soul to mind
dead to living
spirit to substance

i make films
and i teach




i am a member of the  european film academy and a berlinale talent. i am not the footballer with the same name, nor am i the travel photographer

if you want to talk film, i am here.
