This is my third trip to Ireland and I'm always amazed at the hospitality, conversations, and adventures that take place here each time I come. I'm working with Jorge and Raul Rubiera of S
wamp Valve Pictures on a documentary on Alexander Knaifel, Russian composer. His music provided the inspiration to Jorge's movie "
Meniscus", which I'm working on as the DP. Everything is going really well and Alexander's music is very modern. The best night so far followed Mr. Knaifel's performance at a really nice pub located high on a hill within the small town of Drogheda, Ireland. The composer, the musicians, and our crew enjoyed a night of local folk music at a charming pub with an endless supply of Guiness and whiskey. Getting the gear and instruments down the hill at sunrise was a symphony of sound in itself.
