Back to the times when...bts (pt.1)

This new series is going to show behind the scenes of some of the movies I directed in the past. Obviously I love directing on location. The collaboration and seeing scenes come to life in front of me is thrilling. I haven't directed since last December 2019. Miss it. Will be back to it, God willing, early next year. 

For now, I begin with 'Carry On'. A short drama that I was commissioned to direct. It was filmed in 2016. The finished product was never released. 

Post 'Private thoughts...'

'Private Thoughts of a Modern Day Storyteller' is the latest documentary I've directed. It's me speaking about storytelling. Production is complete, it's now in post-production. 

Storytelling is such a significant part of who I am as a person; to dictate in this movie the importance of it and the various aspects of it is thrilling.

Favorites List (pt.8)- Top favorite Movies of all Time!

Okay so this is never easy but somewhat it is. I ask myself what are my favorite movies of all time and immediately certain movies come to mind which are these below:

Top 5 favorite movies of all time:

1. Rocky
2. The Passion of the Christ
3. 12 Years a Slave
4. City Lights
5. Lawerence of Arabia

By the end of the year maybe this list will change since I've been watching many films this year.
But these films I've listed have stood the test of time and when I watch them I always leave feeling like I've grown inches in my imagination, they teach me about craftsmanship, story structure, tone, how to use music, and the performances in each of these films are amazing!

I hope you've enjoyed the lists that I've been posting, there might be more in the near future.

Have a safe and blessed day everyone!

-K.
