I've followed Salomon's work for a long time, ever since he broke into the industry with his beautiful short experimental films like Pater Noster or Anomaly.
Now a renowned director, Salomon, a son to missionary parents who opened his eyes to the world, is a self-taught filmmaker whose international background–––a childhood spent in Johannesburg––– , Dubai, and Sydney–––figures strongly in his distinctive, visceral yet meditative work. His textural and experimental style looks to find new ways of exploring visual and narrative storytelling.
His work has garnered recognition across the world, with inclusion in both the Saatchi & Saatchi and 1.4 New Directors Showcases, two Golds and three Silvers at the YDAs, a Gold Cannes Lion, multiple AICP wins with work featured at the MOMA, shortlists for Music Video of the Year at Shots, Best Alternative Video and Best New Director at the UKMVA’s - and a growing list of awards from the industry including the British Arrows, Cannes D&AD.

We talk about finding your feet in the industry, how to find the right stories, how personal and commercial work tie together, and how he builds a production from idea to script to crew.

Salomon is one of the greats, and a kind soul as well.
