PROFILES
Artist Profiles are short film vignettes capturing artists, creatives, and their work & process.
Taking a delicate & personal approach founded on relationship-building and mutual creation, I interview artists and shed an intimate light on the sides of their process that the world doesn’t often see.
HOW THEY FIT
Artist Profiles are commissioned by galleries, museums, artists, arts organisations, brands and editorial publications.
They serve as content for launch moments, premium digital storytelling moments, paid media & advertising campaigns, exhibition films and journalistic features.
