About

Hello my name’s Remi, I am a documentary filmmaker working internationally across a wide range of projects and topics.

Since 2011 I have been lucky enough to work for a broad range of clients from small NGOs to big brands and everything in between. What drives me to create visual content is to establish connections with people; whether it’s with other people or ways of thinking, or to a brand/product.

Another passion of mine is travel and nature. You will often find me up a mountain or learning new things from new friends in various places across the world.

Scotland is and always will be one of my favourite

Scotland is and always will be one of my favourite places in the world. I spent a lot of time as a child camping and walking in the #highlands with my family. Getting washed out by rain and swarmed by midges is all part of it and wouldn’t have it any other way…although maybe less midges. But the beauty there is unparalleled, there’s a point where you go past the Green Welly Stop and you know you’re entering a new world full of rugged beauty and adventure. My heart always feels full when I enter that land.

So when I was asked by @jacadatravel to film some scenes as part of their global travel campaign film I jumped at the chance.

This is a little edit from some of the footage I got when we were up there earlier in the year. The full film was directed the amazing @wanderliss_ and we had such an awesome little crew for this trip with @jp.harris and Stephen on the bromance.

Shot on RED Komodo with Leica R set & Mavic 3 Cine.

Looking forward to the release of the @mylifeasamoth music video I shot and edited last year. Here’s a few screen grabs from the final edit.

This was a really great day with such a fun crew. Directed by the amazing @enricovaccaro

Massive thanks to @oh.samwalton as AC, and @moonimmischmedia doing all the photography for the album release.

This was a really fun shoot creating the mood and feel of the film with some very simple lighting, vintage lenses, and some good old Vaseline.

Looking forward to getting stuck into more music videos and creative projects so if you have any idea you want to get off the ground give me a shout.

The #Siekopai live on either side of the border between Peru and Ecuador in remote communities in the #AmazonRainforest. Their ancestral homeland is the sacred area of Pë'këya / Lagartococha.

They were displaced and forced to flee from here in the 1940s due to a conflict between Ecuador and Peru. They have been campaigning to get their legal land title so that the Siekopai communities on either side of the border can be reunited in their own homeland.

Spending time with the community earlier this year with @yakum.ec in Pë'këya was such an honour, and to witness first hand and experience the deep connection the community has to their ancestral land.

There is a huge importance on #indigenous communities being able to preserve and maintain their own land. The knowledge that has been passed down through the generations is invaluable for both the communities own survival but also as the #guardians of these forests for us all.

Reminiscing about these lakes.

There’s so much incredible raw nature in Canada. I’m really hoping to go back again soon to learn more and delve deeper into the wisdom this land holds, and from the people that are keeping it alive.

Lappish horizons.

Visiting Lapland in winter is always a treat with @theproductionfamily. The sun rises for a couple hours a day but never gets far above the horizon so you just have a continuous golden hour, and then total darkness.

There is magic in those woods. So many special connections, old and new. Till next year!

We are in a constant communication with the natural world; the tress, the plants, the animals, and each other. Our energy affects theirs, their energy affects ours. It is one continuous dance.

Science is now catching up with indigenous and spiritual thought, and this is very exciting. @naturalsymphonylive is showing through his work and music that this is so clearly noticeable, you can literally see and hear it. We have been working in the Amazon with different communities and hearing their thoughts and stories about this deep connection. We cant wait to share more with you soon.

@benjimamallacta dedicates his life to protecting the forest around him. He has a vast wisdom about the forest and the stories that it holds.

This is a snippet of a conversation we had with him last year at @bosque_escuela_tena which is an incredible forest school promoting a deep connection to the forest for both indigenous and non-indigenous kids. If I ever have kids I would want them going to a school like this!

This was filmed while exploring the Ecuadorean Amazon with @yakum.ec @naturalsymphonylive and @kate.fleur.young

“The idea is to make people understand that the earth, nature, is what gives us life, to breath, to think, to grow as a person, to grow in our dreams.”

Melissa from @sinchi_warmis explains the deep connection to nature that she and her culture has, and her hope for rest of the world.

This is part of a wider film project with @naturalsymphonylive @remibum @yakum.ec and @jangafilm 🎥 More to come.

There is something very powerful about spending time with indigenous people in their own forests. They see and hear things that I cannot even grasp how it’s possible. It also seems like there is this deep familiarity when walking though the forest, like meeting dear friends again after time apart.

On this #earthday I wanted to share a bit about my recent trip to the Amazon with @naturalsymphonylive

We were invited to join a pilgrimage journey with the Seikopai @nacion.siekopai to their ancestral land, Pëkëya or Lagartacocha (lake of crocodiles). This trip was organised by the incredible organisation @yakum.ec in order to collect the seeds of special ancestral foods of the Seikopai, that only grow in Lagartacocha, so they can take them back to their current territory and replant vast areas of land that have been illegally deforested by land grabbers.

The Seikopai have been in a long legal battle to re gain their legal land title to Lagartacocha after fleeing from it during the war between Ecuador and Peru in the 1940s. So this trip was really important for them to reconnect back to their sacred land and the stories, mythologies & foods that are specific to there. And for the elders to pass down this knowledge to the younger generations so that this deep connection is not lost.

What is so clear from speaking to everyone there is the importance of connecting deeply to the natural world. It is alive and we are such a part of it. And maintaining this connection to it is vital to protecting it.

I am now deep in the edit so will be sharing bits soon 🎥

Love is all you need ✨

Such a pleasure to capture Shianne and Nat’s wedding on a beautiful rainy day last year. Weddings really are just the best.

I am looking forward to capturing more weddings this year so if you are or you know someone who’s getting hitched soon then do get in touch.

Sounds and sights of the Amazon 🌳

This is a collection of clips from a larger project in the making, that I’m working on with @naturalsymphonylive, @kate.fleur.young @yakum.ec, and the power of nature. We spent a few weeks in the Ecuadorean Amazon listening to many people about how they experience the forest and the spirits that dwell there. A spiritual connection to the natural world is key to protecting it. Protecting this knowledge and reconnecting people to it is of upmost importance.

We are constantly in communication with the world around us. We may not know it and think we cannot feel it, but there’s a subtle thread that connects us all.

Through Joeys work (@naturalsymphonylive) he is showing us that we are truly in a conversation with the natural world. It is not only our physical touch that affects the plants and trees around us but also our energy, our mood, our intentions. The same happening with other people and animals. The people we spent time with and spoke with in the forest already have this understanding, and by maintaining that deep connection with the forest we are more likely to protect it.

Stay tuned for more.
