rory hinds
director / dop
Born in Durban, South Africa, Rory took advantage
of the beach playground on his doorstep becoming
a successful Vert Skateboard sponsored by Zorlac Skateboards Rory toured the country performing demos and skated alongside the
legendary Tony Hawk.

Completing his studies in Art & Design Rory emigrated to the UK in 1993 and began working as a freelance Graphic Designer and Photo Retoucher at a selection of London's top design and advertising agencies.

Rory's deep passion for image creation and manipulation saw him take to Colour Grading with
a natural talent working as a Colorist on projects for the BBC and Independent Film Makers.

Having a strong photographic background Rory started to take control of the camera on set and quickly developed his cinematographer skills.

As a Director Rory believes that his in depth knowledge of Post Production techniques is an invaluable strength to any production.

Rory has a hands on approach and enjoys expanding his skill set being able to Shoot, Edit and Finish allows immense creative freedom and seems to be the trend of modern film makers.

Now a keen snowboarder Rory continues to see the world upside down and sideways both physically and creatively - with a passion to create stunning imagery at the highest quality that will engage the viewer.

janek schaefer
sound designer & artist
While studying architecture at the Royal College of
Art [RCA annual prize], he recorded the fragmented noises of a sound activated dictaphone traveling overnight through the Post Office.

That work, titled 'Recorded Delivery' [1995] was
made for the 'Self Storage' exhibition [Time Out critics choice] with one time postman Brian Eno and Artangel.

Since then the multiple aspects of sound became
his focus, resulting in many releases, installations, soundtracks for exhibitions and concerts using his
self built/invented record players with
electroacoutisc collage.

The 'Tri-phonic Turntable' [1997] is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the 'World's Most Versatile Record Player'. He has performed,
lectured and exhibited widely throughout Europe [Sonar, Tate Modern, ICA], USA/Canada,
