Shooting Cactus Man somewhere round 56.177577, -4.614143 according to my field log, give or take a few points.
(Disclaimer: No cactus plants or cactus men were harmed in the making of this film.)
And finally, here's my quietest but proudest product of 2022: Let My Body Go. I've not posted it publicly, but if you fancy a gander, I'll happily send a viewing link. The intro is also up on my site, /let-my-body-go. xx
Eden's Echo, official selection of @opencitydocs film festival 2022 ðĪŠ
"By reinterpreting the Fall of Man, the duality between civilization and wilderness is brought into question. Can we better frame our relationship with nature?"
Gonna start spinning through some of 2022's leading ladies, and first up is the Original Cactus Man. Stay chewned for the sparkly grown-up 2023 version.
"Elki Guillen is a world-traveling, yoga-practicing, poetry-writing cactus expert. And he lives in London. Armed with the ancient wisdom of his indigenous Mexican grandmothers, Elki now embarks on his most ambitious experiment yet â to grow cacti in the highlands of Scotland."
I missed the chance to post this on Earth Day in April, so here's my tribute to Global Wind Day 2023âĒïļ today which I figured was close enough amiright??
Made for @visionsofsoon
I'll kick things off with a tribute to my fav film, Cleo from 5 to 7, whose genius opener I've designed my logo after. On this page we treasure Agnes Varda, our crowned queen the French New Wave.
(So happy you doc-lovin' (and J-lovin'?) folks are here.)

Well, well, fancy meetin' y'all here. Positively tickled so many of you have already followed this humble portfolio account. Equally apologetic for all the spam you're about to experience as I catch you up on my backlog of old work and silly little projects.
A bit about me:
Likes
- libraries
- chocolate biscuits
- being hired for jobs
Dislikes
- dicing onions
- existential dread
- shamelessly promoting myself on social media
Film pro tip: a true ~auteur~ only shoots with a scrunched up nose.
