It's funny how in the long time of me working in various countries and various situations that there is this kind of idea out in the media that I am a daredevil and that I risk the lives of everyone around me, but nobody ever gets hurt on my shoot.

Werner HerzogWe live in an era when established values are no longer valid, when prodigious discoveries are being made every year, when catastrophes of unbelievable proportions occur weekly. In ancient Greek the word โchaosโ means โgaping voidโ or โyawning emptiness.โ The most effective response to the chaos in our lives is the creation of new forms of literature, music, poetry, art and cinema.
