    Serene and mysteriously haunting, a beautiful requiem that reveals an inspiring call to the heart. Comfort in the darkest hours of a lonely night. Thanks.

  • tudor evans 1 year ago
    Super 16 is that a form of reticulation, just plain grain or an after effect I see ?

    Takes me back nice and simple unlike all this techno DSLR stuff with too much to remember and too many issues and problems to overcome.

    Nice job simple, emotive and quite beautiful.
  • zack spiger plus 1 year ago
    it's the recently discontinued plus-x negative stock. we shed a single tear.

  • Stephan Georg Hauptmann 1 year ago
    jesus christ..this is awesome. every shot is perfect and I really like the grainy shots at the beginning. the editing at the end kills me.
    It reminds me of jarmusch's dead man.
    all in all you guys did a perfect job. thanks for this one.
  •  
  • Raul Miranda plus 1 year ago

  • Boxer Design plus 1 year ago
    Love this! Love the quailty from the 16mm film stock. Where did you get it processed and was it expensive? I have a 16 mm Bolex I would love to use but not sure about the cost of getting it processed.

  • Morten Bo Johansson plus 1 year ago
    This was so real in every way. The locations and the "actor"? The editing was decisive and precise and the camera work.

    Did you use any color filters to adjust the black&white?
    Thanks.
  • Madison Rowley plus 1 year ago
    No color filters. Just strait up Plus-X kodak stock.

    I love the silhouette at the beginning - not being able to see any internal emotions makes it very unique. Thanks for sharing!
