And as an explorer of the bleeding-edge and nascent, Ian is constantly using new digital technologies in his work to push the limits of what's possible. As a result of these uncommon qualities that set him apart, Ian is a sought-after professional, and he has been privileged to work on many international co-productions, mainly in documentary and feature films.
