During a trip to London to collect my D&AD award, I decided to do something for the very first time in my life: I picked up the camera I usually use for shooting and set out to make my first film.
It’s a documentary about a community of artists who inspired me deeply—Crafters. These are artisans who continue to practice their craft, whether it's ceramics, typography, set design, or various other forms of art, all using techniques passed down through generations, centuries old.
The richness of their creativity and the unique way they view the world gave me the confidence to take a leap and embrace every stage of the process on my own. From shooting and gathering footage to editing, sound mixing, colour grading, photography, and countless other tasks that seem to multiply when you’re unsure of what you’re doing.
I spent that time figuring things out, making mistakes, and pushing myself, but above all, I was learning. And it’s this journey of learning that I now share with you.
