American Milo (2015)

American Milo is a documentary about British journalist Milo Yiannopoulos as he spends a week in Los Angeles on a media tour As much provocateur as journalist Milo is a unique figure in the media landscape A flamboyant gay man with a lust for life and the limelight he is also religious and thoughtful in his unapologetic conservative views He is either loved or hated by those who know him and his work He has a point of view and he forces you to have one as well which is why he was interesting to me as a film subject He has an honest opinion and hes not afraid to say it and then defend it This is becoming an increasingly rare quality in both people and the media and I wanted to capture him and this moment in the cultural zeitgeist
