Digital Nomads - Live Mixed Documentary

In Digital Nomads - Live Mixed Documentary, I’m using a method of inclusive conversation to let the observed be in the same position as spectator, where as director is an editor of a growing archive of friends. The inclusive documentary allows to grasp a generation of people brought up on internet, whose relation to self image, communication and space, shapes their understanding of freedom.

In my research on Realness I searched for authenticity which led me to explore the relation between observer and observed in documentary filmmaking and experiment with the notion of conversation as inclusive process of filmmaking, as well as with cinematic approaches, such as private space of smartphone and it’s ever present camera.
