HARMONY KORINE: SPRING BREAKERS
Didn’t realize Harmony Korine was behind the Spring Breakers film starring all those disney babes. He’s aged quite a bit.
David Lynch: IDEM PARIS
What do I like more than David Lynch? David Lynch made film on a printing company in Paris. Analog Printing is Awesome!
Video Diary of a Lost Girl Trailer: Diego Ramirez
I stumbled upon this trailer when I was trying to find festivals to submit my film which I recently finished. I don’t know what to make of this 2 minute trailer but it makes me want to see the 90 minute feature. That’s what trailers are suppose to do right?
Migrating Forms Trailer: Michael Robinson
A similar form of excitement aroused my senses in seeing Michael Robinson’s films on his website www.poisionberries.net as when I encountered the work of one of my favorite artist, Keren Cytter. Both artists’ use of sharp textual narrative gives their films a soothing discomfort, enjoyed mightily by yours truly.
BO LEE : The New Void Trailer #1
Couple years back, my wife fell into severe depression. She slept 18 hours a day for six months and for the time she was awake, she would just sit there and phase the whole world out. I can’t begin to understand what she went through in her consciousness for those months but as someone watching her fall so deep, I started questioning my own sanity and our life in which this reality exists. After her depression eased away, I wanted to express those emotions into a film.
Last week I shot a video with a friend of mine who is currently going through depression (although different than what my wife experienced). I’m now in the process of editing the footage but having a hard time visualizing the end product.
Not sure when the video will be finished, but for now I have these 2 trailers.
BO LEE: The New Void Trailer #2
AURAE: SABRINA RATTE
Found this artist through a music video featured on pitchfork.com. She has a vimeo channel which I’ve been going through, trying to dissect her videos, hoping to figure it all out. Awesome work.
DRIVE: Nicolas Winding Refn
The moment I heard Kavinsky’s track in the intro that resembles 80’s film “Risky Business,” I knew that this cinematic experience was going to be awesome. Nicolas Winding Refn is quickly becoming one of my favorite film-makers and the fact that he consulted Gaspar Noe for one of the scenes makes him even more incredible. (Gaspar Noe being another favorite film-maker of mine)
