Shooting documentaries is a nice change to more pre-production heavy shoots such as commercials and dramas.

This feature length documentary about the Thalidomide tragedy was one of the most poignant and heart breaking experiences of my career.

Meeting the victims and parents of Thalidomide was a very humbling and empathetic experience. 

It was also an inspiring challenge, to want to tell their story and educate people about this tragedy. It certainly made me a more grateful person.

Filming an interview with a victim requires a lot more sensitivity than usual because while taking care of the technical aspects of the interview you also have to follow the story being told and read the body language of the interviewee so as to anticipate when you want to be in a wide or a close up shot to capture the array of emotions that are expressed.
