I’ve made a handful of music videos over the years, increasingly on Super 8 and 16mm film, and am currently moving into filmmaking “proper” with a few short films. Here you can also find various things shot on film for fun or whilst testing (often faulty) cameras and self-processing recipes. Click each title to watch the corresponding video.
