S2E13 - Storytelling Without Words – featuring Rob Whitworth

About this episode

B.J. Cunningham interviews Rob Whitworth about his evolution as a filmmaker and his unique storytelling style.

B.J. Cunningham sits down with BAFTA-winning filmmaker and visual storyteller Rob Whitworth. Trace Rob’s fascinating evolution from a traditional photography student to the creator of "flow motion," a groundbreaking cinematic style that blends time-lapse and fluid movement to capture the essence of the world’s most iconic locations. Discover Rob’s unique philosophy —rejecting static perspectives in favor of impossible, roving journeys that connect wide-angle vistas with the tiny, human details of everyday life. He also reflects on his celebrated collaborations with Turkish Airlines, discussing the technical and emotional process behind these films, and how the hospitality of the Turkish people left as much of an impression on him as the breathtaking landscapes themselves.
