I figured the one thing I've been talking non-stop about, is the documentary scene. So I decided to make that my talking point and a chance for me to share all things interesting in the international documentary scene. It might be a comment on a documentary or festival I've come across, political activism, a trend, an interesting book or some related news.
As I searched for a blog tool, I came across a couple: WordPress, Tumblr and then Blogger. At first glance, WordPress seemed professional, but a bit too complicated and Tumblr is too 'trendy'. I decided to use Blogger. Its simplicity allows you to focus on the writing. In today's digital world, it's hard to keep up with all the new developments. Simple works best for me.
My fascination with digital communication started when I began immersing myself into the world of documentary filmmaking. I kept coming across buzz words such as 'cross-media' and I realised that's where current creative opportunities lie. So it seems, sticking to old school thinking won't work in today's complex media landscape.
