Documentary filmed in Japan

A new documentary I’ve made alongside Jay Goldmark and Jiro Kumakura for Goldmark Films is now available to watch online.

Koichiro Isezaki: Bizen Born is a captivating new Goldmark documentary that delves into the life and work of Koichiro Isezaki, the son of renowned potter and National Living Treasure, Jun Isezaki. Filmed on location in the ancient pottery town of Bizen, Japan, we follow Isezaki as he meticulously crafts pieces for his inaugural solo exhibition here at Goldmark. Following his footsteps of his father and his grandfather before him, viewers are offered a rare glimpse into traditional techniques and artistic passion that have been passed down through generations.

As Isezaki reflects on his upbringing and the profound influence of his family's pottery lineage, he offers poignant insights into his philosophy towards the craft. Rooted in a deep reverence for tradition yet marked by his own innovative spirit, Isezaki shares his belief in the transformative power of clay and the profound connection between the artist, the material, and the natural world. Through his thoughtful narration and masterful craftsmanship, he invites the audience to contemplate the beauty and significance of pottery.

FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR Award Winner JonnyLewisFilms.com

I’m not sure how this has happened, but I’ve somehow won the FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR SUPREME CHAMPION AWARD in the Pro Moviemaker International Awards for a number of films I made with Jay Goldmark and Goldmark Films. Last year’s winners included a music video for the Pigeon Detectives (apparently they are still going), a documentary for The Daily Telegraph and promotional film for Ferrari, so I was shocked to be told that I’ve won the top prize from this years awards, which included 16 categories!
