2019 to present

RODAJE is a series of film exercises devised to learn the ropes and knots of the trade. Absolute provides food and drink, while apprentices using ordinary tools and props handle unexpected challenges and engage in rigorous creative play to produce a fine-tuned production within a set time frame.

2013 to 2015

Fabrika workshops [2013-2015] were conceived as a way to be creatively resourceful with ordinary tools—cell phones, night lamps, imagination and 3 hours to develop a concept, script it, shoot it and edit it. Exceptions: Amongst Children and OCD.
