I have recently been developing ideas with the director of the BMX doc because we both need second roles and need more ideas rather than less. This will help us have plan a, b and even c. He came across an organisation called the APFU, they look at animal mutilations due to UFOs. I personally found this amazing to read about, and very unusual at the same time, being a sceptic I wanted to find out more about how they connected these dots.
After starting to research this idea in more depth, I became very attached to this idea and realised if I took the role as camera on this project I probably would want more input so have decided to have my first go at directing. It may seem slightly crazy for a final major project but I believe my team is strong, with a strong camera man who is the guy who introduced me to this project and has been having phone calls with the founder who is on board, and with also having a strong producer at my side. I look at things visually and from the skills I have learnt from doing camera on most projects I feel I can carve a story out of this extraordinary and unusual topic.
