Owen Scurfield

Camera
Owen honed his skills on the mean streets of New York and Lodz at an early age, Roman Polanski once said "the film we met on was Rosmary's Baby but really the crew called it 'Owens baby" because of all the innovative and creative ideas he gave me which ultimately really made the film". Owen then moved on to work with Martin Scorsese on Taxi driver, Martin called him "a once in a generation talent" and went on to say "I just learnt so much from his lighting skills that were basically years ahead of their time". After the Shining (Kubrick), where Owen perfected the art of handheld ("like a floating camera, instinctive yet technically faultless" was how Stanley described his work. Owen then entered into a Tibetan monastery where he studied art ,yoga and  meditation for 5 years strengthening his body and mind for the next phase of his career.

The turning point came when he met Waldemar during a TED talks that Owen was presenting at and persuaded Waldemar to adopt a more modern approach to film making to attract a younger audience. Owen suggested using maps, props, close ups of his glasses and Yumi's rings to bring the films into the modern era. Since then Waldemar has gone from strength to strength. As Waldemar put it" he's a rough diamond, a maverick, the envelope pushing attitude, as well as a capacity to imbibe large amounts of seafood and fine wine has cemented a fruitful relationship. His help with the scripts and in depth knowledge about art are also invaluable" he chuckled.
