The past eighteen months were a blur for me. A time in which I was lucky enough to shoot four feature films in three different countries with many people I love dearly. I’m happy to see two of these, ‘Florid’ directed by Billy Lumby and ‘Our Share of Sand’ directed by Shalini Adnani, are amongst this year’s BFI / Cannes Great 8’ lineup. Both with write-ups today in Hollywood Reporter, Deadline and Screen Daily. Lots of love for the cast and crew of both of these projects x

Out of billions of souls floating around this planet, finding and truly connecting with one isn’t luck, it's destiny, a karmic journey. Recently, the subject of love has been on my desk for a while, shaping perspectives I never thought I’d explore. Funny enough, I had the chance to work on a small love story partly inspired by my own relationship: meeting in a shop for the first time, the way our eyes connected. Mad love. Two magnets, polar opposites. I learned how to fold my clothes, she learned how to eat pizza in bed, both things we’d never done before. Chaos and order merging into one. I love working on stories like that they breathe, feel alive, and make me happy. Thank you to everyone involved, a brilliant team: agency, client, production, crew.

With the World turning upside down lately, I felt like making a film as naive and honest as a child’s drawing. The plot was inspired by my own journey—immigrating from Latvia to the UK 15 years ago. 50 hours on a bus with people chasing opportunities, working in warehouses with others from all over the world, and finally finding peace with my own troubled identity.

An officially unreleased series of visualisers for an artist who shall remain unnamed. Conceived as one shot narratives, these were an exercise in stark minimalism. Beginning as just a seed of an idea, each film felt like sculpting, slowly revealing the form through the slow process of blocking and rehearsing. It was a great day of filming and a true collaborative experience for us all.
