I am a strong shooter and an excellent communicator able to build strong relationships with contributors even in challenging environments. I have experience filming with vulnerable contributors, sensitive institutions and talent and have done so in both observational and formal interview styles. Good technical skills mean I am familiar with various camera systems, capable of learning new ones quickly, and confident with lighting and prime lenses. I have worked with some of Britain’s most respected Indies on films for prime time slots on both the BBC and Channel 4. Read Less

Ismar worked on a feature documentary I co-directed and co-produced called 'The Trial of Ratko Mladic', a hugely ambitious and complicated film about the war crimes trial of the former Bosnian Serb general. Ismar did a superb job as our AP during the nearly year-long edit -- researching controversial parts of the story so we got it right, chasing down difficult to find archive, editing some early sequences, shooting during the trial's verdict when we needed to cover the story from four different angles with four cameramen, and providing really considered and insightful notes at viewings. Ismar has incredibly good editorial judgement, surprising for someone so young. He is very intelligent, is a very, very hard worker, and is deeply committed to the medium of film. I would recommend him highly without reservation.
