One filmmaker who's work I greatly admire is Andrew Kotting, his most recent works Offshore and Deadad are definitely worth seeking out, Deadad was originally designed as a multi-screen installation, but there is a DVD available that is extremely effective as a piece of work in it's own right.
What I like about Andrew's work is the fact that his working processes are presented as an integral part of the narratives that he constructs. His works feature a journey of some kind as a starting point, while his finished products show us both a person emotionally emerged in a journey and a reflexive insight into a filmmakers creative journey.     

Think it was a good idea to start this thread Marcus, am not familiar with the two names you have mentioned so I will make an effort to seek out some work.
I wanted to start by mentioning Andrew's work, although he is quite well known, not really an emerging filmmaker, but wanted to mention him anyway because his work is of great inspiration to me. 
Will consider the question and hopefully think of some more names to add later.
