118 Characters Michael Zomer: I, extreme filmmaker KS_Michael, when have you decided to become a professional video-maker? I think I’ve always been fascinated by cameras and video. From a very young age (10), I ‘borrowed’ my dad’s handy cam and started to film my mates during skateboarding and other stupid stuff. In that time I didn’t believe this was an actual job, everybody could just apply for but over the years, I developed my skills and upgraded my equipment and people and brands started to see that I was doing something unique. I guess from that point my passion for filmmaking turned into a daily job. KS_What kind of filming education have you received and is there any
"master" that inspires your works? I actually went to an art school, but I didn’t attend many classes in filming there, I just went on doing it myself. On top of that, I’ve watched so many skateboard and snowboard movies so this is definitely where my inspiration is coming from. So if it comes to action sports productions Ty Evans and the whole Brainfarm crew are true legends for me. If it comes to storytelling I got really inspired by the way Vice magazine does this.
