Greening the Desert

Synopsis

In Burkina Faso, changing weather patterns provoked by climate change, combined with over-farming and over-grazing, have turned once fertile lands into desert, degrading up to two-thirds of the land in some places. This film tells the story of how a group of subsistence farmers on the edge of the Sahel in Burkina Faso’s Central Plateau are battling climate change and decide to re-green the desert with their own hands – with amazing results.

About me

I'm a filmmaker and anthropologist who cares passionately about the capacity of film to enhance understanding of the world we live in and change lives in positive ways. In particular, I am interested in the power of documentary film to lend a voice to those who might not otherwise be heard and to reveal injustices wherever I find them.

I have worked on a broad range of productions and in a number of capacities. My key strengths are in documentary directing, cinematography, post-production and project management. I am driven, professional and dependable and a proactive and amenable person to work with.

I am available for freelance work and currently own and shoot with:

  • Sony F5 Digital Cinema Camera (4K)
  • Nikon lens kit
  • Fluid head tripod
  • Sony and Senheiser radio mic kits
  • Audio technica and Senheiser shotgun and boom mic kits
  • LED lighting panel kit
  • Kessler tracking kit
