Art of the interview
When you listen with an open heart and mind, you create space for people to open up and share.
Artist Interview Series
Interviews about the artistic process.
In 2017 I was invited to documentary a collective full moon performance on an island south of Marseille, France. Interested by this experiment which had no audience, I spoke to the artists and crew about what motivates them in their practice. The result was a 16-part series, When Nobody is Watching.

Beard Club, the documentary
Interviews about belonging.
Beard Club is a documentary about the social politics of facial hair. The film takes viewers around the world and back in history to discover why facial hair matters to men. More than frivolous fashion, beards have been a marker of status, maturation, religious beliefs, resistance, self-acceptance, belonging and pride. Beard Club is a light-hearted, yet thoughtful look at men and gender.
