Hello,
I am an Auteur (i.e. unpretentiously and compelled to be a writer-director-producer -production designer+) seeking a DoP-Camera Operator/Kindred Soul for a long-term collaboration over many projects, who can help me express the vision I have constructed over many years, which is based on:
- A detailed and distinct existential philosophy and related 'way of seeing' that underpins the type of films I wish to personally make, in union with the form (shot-by-shot) that they will take.
Please visit majnunfilms.com for more details.
- An attraction to long meditative takes, visually static tableaux, the objective Brechtian gaze, which respects an an active audience.
- Freedom from a dogmatic need for cliched narrative, or didactic storytelling.
- Minimal dialogue in favour of actor movement, production design and props (i.e. films that show and don't simply tell)
Filmmakers I am most drawn to include: Elia Suleiman, Ulrich Seidl, Michael Haneke, Carlos Reygadas, Roy Andersson, Ruben Ostlund, Michel Franco, Amat Escalante, Mehmet Can Mertoglu, Todd Solondz to name a few.
If you can appreciate what I am aspiring to do, recognise and have enjoyed works by the filmmakers above, are flexible and open-minded, and also want to create truly meaningful and distinct work, please contact me by messaging me at mandy.com or via my website at www.majnunfilms.com
Thank you.
