Filmmaking

Creative Direction,Director, DP, Editor

One man crew- I own the process to ensure the vision is executed as intended. The tone, look and content is done in collaboration with my fellow artists. Here are some featured films:

Recursive

Credits

Director/DP/Editor: Phil Mahabeer

Choreo/Dancer/Words: Sara Pizzi

Description

This film being both a technical and stylistic work, seeks to use visual cues, pacing and movement to invite the viewer to question the direction of time. Memory, progress and life often has elements of repetition, return and reversal. It's inevitieable that moving forward also involves regression. 

We would prefer to believe that we simply move forward beyond the things we would like to call the past but we carry them and return to them while taking steps further into the new beings that we become over time.

Progress in non-linear...it is Recursive.

Description

What happens when you consciously meet the resistance you’ve been building up inside yourself?

Through explosive and leading movements, this dance tells a story of courage, defiance and boldness.
