Filmmaker Runar Jarle Wiik began shooting and directing during his time at The London International Film School in the mid-1980s, being the youngest student to be admitted at that time. Whilst there, he worked as assistant director on the Fuji Film Award-winning “MacHeath” starring John Hurt. Since then, he has mainly taken on assignments as a D.O.P on documentaries from all corners of the globe: Uganda, Sudan, Guatemala, the Middle East (Gaza and West Bank), South Africa, Cambodia, French Polynesia and as far-flung as the North Pole.
