I currently write and produce the TV/web series The Facts. The series explores the human animal – what it is like to be human - by looking at the interaction and evolution of ideas. We also aim to give insight into our own positions and influences because we are mindful of mass media as an information and disinformation tool, a creator as well as reactor to cultural currents. We want The Facts to contribute to debates about art, the human condition, and justice for all – what those are, and what they can reap.
I guide the group of skilled artists and craftspeople that create the series. Following The Facts is like being in an artist’s studio as work continues on several fronts at once – rehearsals, discussions and culminating art piece. The Facts is a work in progress – the motivation for an episode is interpolated into the episode – it is the story
