Editor/Camera Operator

Documentary Short, 2025
15 minutes
Director: Benjamin Frisch


This short documentary captures the creative journey of artist James Paterson as he brings his first children's book, Saturday Morning, to life. Known for his unique, large-scale moving wire sculptures, Paterson's vibrant and joyful style is translated into two dimentional "wirestrations" that correspond with images in his latest machine. Live Wire offers an intimate look at an artist whose playful creations inspire wonder and awe.
