On Stage Design Indaba 2010: Pray, Demetrios and Hustwit

For Doug Pray filmmaking is about helping people to understand their own stories better, and he feels that the question that designers should ask is how your doing of a job affects the people that receive it.

Gary Hustwit’s creative process is about making things that he would like to see, go or do that don’t already exist, and he expains this in the film Objectified, which looks at the role of design in our everyday lives.

Eames Demetrios says understanding should never be delegated because only if you’re doing the doing can you get the learning from it.

Doug Pray has directed a number of critically acclaimed feature-length documentary films about American subcultures, artists, and maverick characters. Eames Demetrios is a filmmaker and the geographer-at-large for Kcymaerxthaere, a parallel universe largely coexistent with our linear world. Gary Hustwit is an independent filmmaker, famed for this design trilogy Helvetica, Objectified and Urbanized.
