A heartwarming observational documentary capturing a young girl, her mother, and her father, who works abroad. Their only family time is through video calls during homework. Through these quiet moments, Homework explores love, distance, and the ways family stays connected, even when miles apart.
The Special One
At a bustling fishing dock in Yangon, a devoted fishmonger finds joy where he can—football. His love for Chelsea FC runs so deep that he outfits his workers in team jerseys, transforming his workplace into a tribute to his favorite club. A funny, lively portrait of passion in an unexpected place.
A Peaceful Land
In 2005, Myanmar’s military government launched a radical biodiesel campaign, forcing farmers to plant Physic Nut trees under threat of land confiscation and forced labor.
Cenote
In the northern Yucatán Península of Mexico, there is an abundance of 'cenotes' – sources of water that in ancient Mayan civilization were said to connect the real world and the afterlife. The past and present of the people living in and around them intersect, and distant memories echo throughout immersive scenes of light and darkness.
Aragane
‘Aragane’ is a Japanese word for small pieces of coal or stone excavated from a mine. The mine that I filmed in Bosnia bears this name. I found the mine while location scouting for another film. I was attracted to the place, the people, and the sheer amount of physical labour done under harsh circumstances in eight-hour shifts every day under the ground.
