Filmmaking Resume
This documentary is titled Filmmaking Resume as a reference to short bits of architectural footage shot over the course of several years. Although, in the past, I have also created short films on art, politics, and cultural events, my focus here is on architecture-as-space.
In the future, I will create movies on topics such as housing, sustainability, and open urban spaces, dealing with the human condition in the 2020 decade.
This documentary aims to illustrate the works of twenty recognized contemporary architects. It was conceived to inform the audience on interesting spaces which caught my eye. While editing, I further realized my desire to express how good design can resonate on a much deeper level and lead to a higher quality of life.
I wholeheartedly believe that through art and architecture we have the power to change the world.
