Career

Film work

Clague has worked on films and documentaries all over the world, including The World According to Jeff Goldblum for Disney+, The Secret Life of Books for the BBC, Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father[1] and Sunderland 'Til I Die for Netflix, and an adaptation of Canadian author Alistair MacLeod's In The Fall from Island (short story collection).[2][3][4] He also runs his own production company.

In May 2018, he joined Director Werner Herzog in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest for a filmmaking expedition with Black Factory Cinema. Under Herzog's guidance, Rupert produced, directed, shot, and edited Jacob's Ladder while in the jungle.[5]

In November 2018, with support from Shure, Rupert directed Sounds of the Sunset with adventurer Leon McCarron, a film about the Sunset Limited train that runs from New Orleans, Louisiana to Los Angeles, California in the United States.

In April 2020, he launched Tell Me in collaboration with a group of international filmmakers. Setting up a series of phone voicemail boxes around the world, the collective encouraged people to call and leave a message with any thoughts or feelings they may be having during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intention is to bring parts of these calls together as a documentary film: a unique portrait of humanity brought together in isolation.[6]

Writing

He is the author of 'For a single moment my voice is everything: David Berman's Actual Air and the experience of time stopping', a long form essay exploring the poetry of Silver Jews founder and poet David Berman (musician). All proceeds are donated to MusiCares.[7]

His work has also appeared in No Film School and The Guardian.[8]
