Collaboration with Connie Butler. Film a week number 5.
Not part of ‘film a week’- this is a short film made for Innopia a few weeks ago- not that any of the English speakers among you will be able to understand it (a total pain to edit, with my very broken Spanish). The film is to find out what the people of San-Sebastian think ‘green’, or ‘to be green’ is- with varying responses, ranging from the basic “recycle”, to entire life/system changes, some were philosophical, some simple, and some didn’t care, as you might expect really.
Film a week number 4. I may do a re-hash of this in the future with more footage. No special story- just a sunny afternoon in the woods.
To keep myself entertained I am making a film a week (I have been keeping them secret, but I realise it’s important to show people stuff no matter how bad). I’m not sure how long it will last yet i’d love a year (- 52 films!). It’s nothing heavy- just an experiment to teach myself film making- first i’m trying editing to music- I’ve never done it before. So far they have relied on what I happened to be doing that weekend, but I am starting to plan them more now. Next I have a few ideas to work with some guys out here (about stuff rather than just pretty landscapes!)
This is number two: (i don’t like number one enough to post yet) – it is from two weeks ago.

I RT’d this a while go, but was going through Alex Brown‘s site and stumbled upon it again.
Alex has done an amazing job, I think this is one a few videos that gives a tingly feeling! Full screen…
This is lovely and has left me with such a positive feeling. I couldn’t have imagined watching a 12 minute film about a soda shop, but John Nese- the owner is incredibly intelligent, sensitive and inspirational. My favourite part is when he talks about the idea of businesses trading on a similar scale i.e. small business to small business; everybody helps to sustain simply by buying from each other and being aware of who is good. I also had no idea one could ‘commission a soda’ – that’s amazing!
