About Frederick

I am an audiovisual storyteller floating somewhere on the intriguing intersection of journalism, documentary, music and cinema.

Fusing those elements into an organic hybrid language is the focus of my artistic work.

Over the last few years, I’ve gathered stories about astronomy, art, music, oil, wine, tech, economics, literature, food, faith, design and more – visiting prisons, slums, ships, villages, festivals, farms, museums, squats, schools, studios and protests along the way.

I’ve told tales using words, sound, photography and moving images – with multiple mediums playing in concert as often as possible.

What unites many of these disparate stories and forms is my goal to illuminate social or political issues through a cultural lens and break through the daily cycle of negativity to show people good news which transcends time.

I strive to find untold stories – or, failing that, a new way of telling old stories more dynamically.

Currently based in Latin America and London.
