My first feature film is the documentary “Purpose”, about creating wellbeing economies. It had its premiere on June 11th 2024 at the Wellbeing Economy Forum in Iceland. Since then, we have been organising screenings around the world, and will continue to do so throughout 2025. An overview of screenings past, present and future is on the film’s website: purpose.film/screenings/
If you want to organise your own screening, please get in touch.
In late March of 2024, I started an experimental YouTube channel called MOPALAB which is all about hand-drawn animation. The project had to pause during the final post production stages of ‘Purpose’ in the second half of 2024 (which were very intense), but I intend to pick it up again in 2025.
Past film projects and experiments are listed on the ‘Past Projects‘ page.
