WATCH LE NOISE ON YOUTUBE

WATCH LE NOISE ON YOUTUBE

You can watch the whole film I made with Neil on youtube. Do yourself a favour and watch it with a good stereo system that has a sub and crank it to 11. 38 minutes. There are even comments from people who stole it from there with a downloader app. Can you believe that shit? If you don’t care about quality go ahead and do that, but it’s available on DVD and Blu-ray.

I’d never shot or editied moving picture before, but i’ve been a photographer since I was about 6. It premiered at the Toronto International film festival in 2007. Someday soon I will post the whole film streaming from my site.
