Music Video Director Seoul | Grand Jury Prize Winner for 'Sincity'

SCHMIDT | Sincity

HOOKED BY THE GLAMOUR OF THE CITY, THE COUNTRY-SIDE IS LEFT BEHIND. HOWEVER UPON ARRIVAL EXPECTATIONS ARE CHALLENGED BY THE SINS OF THE CITY. TOGETHER WITH STUART HOWE I TEAMED UP AS A DIRECTOR FOR THIS SHOOT THAT TOOK PLACE IN SEOUL AND SOUTH KOREA’S KANGWANDO PROVINCE. IN ADDITION I SHOT THIS MUSIC VIDEO AS A CINEMATOGRAPHER AND WAS WORKING AS AN EDITOR AND COLORIST IN POST-PRODUCTION.

THIS VIDEO WON THE GRAND JURY PRIZE IN THE PRESTIGIOUS GENERO SINCITY FILM AWARD COMPETITION 2011. AMONG THE JUDGES WERE THE LIKES OF GUY CHAMBERS (RECORD PRODUCER), FLORIAN GALLENBERGER (FILM DIRECTOR), PAUL VERHOEVEN (FILM DIRECTOR). 

FURTHER THE VIDEO RECEIVED A NOMINATION FOR THE KATAPULT CLIP COMPETITION IN 2011. GENERO WROTE: “CONGRATULATIONS ON A FANTASTIC, ORIGINAL FILM THAT WAS ENTERTAINING FROM START TO FINISH. A VERY DESERVED WINNER.”
