❌THISISNOT.LA❌ featuring dancer Flockey Ocscor ~ directed by BAM

“50% documentary and 50% fiction, this short film about protagonist Flockey Ocscor leads us through his way of diving into his creative mindset as a dancer. The viewer is taken on a journey including the endless inspiration he explores, while his perception of reality is changed with every slight influence, always creating something totally different with every move. It’s him standing in his old shoes and riding new waves. Time after time.” director and photographer duo Ben & Martin, aka BAM, tell us about their recently finished film.

The two explain : “The title ‘This Is Not L.A.’ is a sarcastic allusion to the dazzling and wild world in the city of Los Angeles, creating a discrepancy between his reality and his desires. Since it was his creative path which led him to L.A, Flockey has, of course, a strong inspirational bond to the city. But as he states, it’s about yourself, the people, the vibe, and the atmosphere. It’s the moment that leads you so you don’t have to think about anything. Because this is a never-ending story of something unique in the making.”

Post production was in the hands of POP., Hamburg.

About BEN & MARTIN

Ben and Martin, aka BAM, are a German-based duo of photographers and directors specializing in high-end automotive & lifestyle campaigns. Their exuberant images reflect the duo's own high energy and never betray the expertise and planning that goes into each shoot, appearing instead spontaneous and relaxed.

 

Their dual approach makes all the difference. BAM operate as a synchronized creative powerhouse, capturing multiple perspectives at once while always looking beyond the obvious.

 

It’s a seamless workflow of parallel shooting in real time, shaped by a refined rhythm developed across countless productions, ensuring no missed moments and a consistent look and feel throughout stills and motion. The result is simple: a luxury of excess. 

 

Movement and light are consistent tools in BAM’s skillset, along with a clear admiration for candid portraiture and a snapshot aesthetic. The Duo seamlessly blend photography, direction, CGi & Ai to create cinematic visual worlds and outstanding campaigns.

 

They work worldwide with clients such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Mazda, Ford, and Audi.
