I worked as a videographer on a couple of videos for DDD, a New-York based social enterprise. They train disadvantaged youth in IT and after working for them for a couple of years they can move on to well-paid job in the IT sector.
It was great shooting this video of Souvannahong and Bounheuang in Vientiane, Laos, as they both enjoy their work and are appreciative of the life-changing support DDD provides them with.
It was great working as a videographer on this video for Temple Garden Foundation (TGF), a small NGO based in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The video has been a successful fundraising tool to raise much needed funds to help people in Chi Kreang district. Known for its temples, Siem Reap is one of the poorest provinces in Cambodia, so it’s great to be able to support the vital work TGF do.
The Cambodia Run Challenge is an annual event that has been set up to raise money for TGF. If you get the chance please head over to their page and check it out.
I was contacted by the team from The Documentary Group and worked as a location scouting for Girl Rising, an inspirational, feature-length documentary about the empowerment of girls around the world.
I also managed a team of translators who subtitled the documentary into Khmer for the Cambodian premiere.
It was great meeting Richard Robbins and the team when they were over for the shoot.
I worked on this feature-length documentary for over 4 years as a researcher, producer, director, camera operator and Steadicam operator.
Spending extended periods of time working alongside the Bunong and their elephants in Mondulkiri was life-changing.
Working with Daniel Ferguson, Arnaud Bouquet and the teams at InformAction Films and La Compagnie des Taxi-brousses, was incredible opportunity to learn about the filmmaking process.
The documentary won numerous awards worldwide, had a limited theatrical release, has been aired on TV5 in Canada and France 2 and is available to watch on Amazon Prime.
I’d love to work on another project of this scope in the future.
