I’ve learnt from the best: the great filmmakers of Iran, India, Egypt, China, America, Europe and Brazil; Hollywood’s golden age movie stars; writers, DPs, historians. Here are some of them.
Profound thanks to my regular collaborators: producers, composers, sound designers, graphic designers, animators, etc. Their names are on the films, and should be up in lights.
A special mention to Timo Langer who has edited (and improved) most of what I’ve done, and producer John Archer who trusted me from the start and keeps coming up with big ideas.
I’m a constant apprentice.
