Morocco... not the middle east.


High and dry in dusty Morocco

At just 20-years-old Australian director/producer Kane Christopher (pictured above) is an award winner who is quickly turning heads in the motion picture industry across the globe.

He’s now covered five of the seven continents for his work, recently returning from an exotic shoot of a new music video which took him to Morocco in North-West Africa.

He directed the video for Mountains guitarist, Phil Stormer.

“(Phil’s) beautiful and emotive music influenced me to take this video to Morocco. I wanted to shine a positive light on these middle-eastern countries,” said Kane.
Oops! Did I read that right? Middle eastern... mmm, maybe they don't teach geography in Australian schools. Mind you, the rest of his sentiments were fine....

“It’s so cliche for us to put a negative spin on Arab nations. One thing I have learned in my travels is . . . the simple things in life are often the best . . . and the people in these nations are a testimony to that. I wanted to reflect this thought in Phil’s video.”

Titled ‘Charmer’, the video was shot over four days in some of the most remote locations around the globe. It will be released on YouTube and www.kanechristopher.com on June 21

With a slew of projects in the works which cover everything from a children’s TV series to a feature length documentary, Kane’s camera lenses could be working overtime.
