Promises For Business

In my practice as a filmmaker, I always seek to maintain a curious, trust-building, and investigative approach in my work, where I am focused on the context, material, and narrative/critique.
In my practice I seek to respond to relevant social, environmental, or political circumstances of today, which is not about delivering information and giving answers, but instead questioning that same information, and making critical questioning visible. With a strong emphasize on the methods used in journalism, work interdisciplinary and implementation of aesthetic data, my practice never claims to be telling or speaking about a whole ‘truth’. Instead, it seeks to get closer to the real by constructing a model of it, by working with the means of news-media effects, storytelling, and media manipulation and material evidence.
With my camera's viewfinder, and occasionally dive into archival footage, I try to witness the promises of future prospects and phenomena, through the means of field research, undercover reportage, interviews, activism and civic participation, where I am often in the role of the protagonist with a gonzo-journalistic style. My recent film ‘Promises For Business’ contains this urgency of witnessing, as it seeks to document the ‘race for resources’ in Greenland / Arctic and analyses the markets' and the geopolitical promises and propaganda of wealth to the local communities in the resource rich territory.
