"Sometimes it's harder to remember than to forget."

Surrounded by both life and decay, unsure of what is memory and what is reality a man travels through an unfamiliar city struggling to separate thought from confusion, a fog of recollection that overwhelms his assumptions about past and present.

Stumptown is an experimental short film shot in Portland, Oregon.

    I really love the idea and utterly interesting photography...but I do feel that there's an unexploited dramaturgic potential in it. The story behind the character could have been better illustrated. I figure, this could have also reinforced the concept itself.

    You're on vimeo.com/channels/01shortfilmx!

    Dorian, many thanks for your compliments.

    I guess I didn't want to lose the sense of mystery by overplaying the story of the main character. I think I wanted the viewer to project themselves onto this character, to imagine motives and emotions.

    I as well adore the photography in this piece! What kind of post- software did you use if you don't mind me asking? Red Giant?
  • David Lawless plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Nicholas. We graded a lot in-camera and I used Magic Bullet to manipulate the contrast. It was all shot on EX1 in macro.

    An enigmatic elegy to the passage of time, beautifully photographed and constructed.

    Really enjoyed it!
