Since the early 1990s, Ian has completed a variety of short super-8 films using different techniques including hand painting,
bleaching, scratching, paper cut-out animation and collage. He has explored a number of themes in depth, and continues to experiment with abstraction, colour, found footage and electronic sound.
The film Holes is made from tiny strips of found hole-punched Standard 8 footage, and was conceived in the early 1990s as a never-ending movie; it will continue to be added to whenever new film is discovered, and has now been in production for over 15 years.
The electronic soundtrack is played live with the Hellitron 7 pulse generator.
Ian has been a member of 2 international film juries - Norwegian Short Film Festival 2005 and Stuttgart Filmwinter 2006
