Photographed and designed @chriszabriskie ‘s new portrait along with all the artwork for his new record 𝙈𝘼𝙔𝙊𝙍 𝙁𝙀𝙀𝘿𝘽𝘼𝘾𝙆, out now.

Process involved shooting 𝐇𝐢𝟖 and 𝑼𝑯𝑫 video, burning-in timecode, extracting those timecode graphics, running them through several different video signals to generate displacement maps, which then became an inverse matte into which I fed hundreds of raw video signals. That’s the short explanation.

Thank you to Chris, my dear friend for over a quarter of a century, to the B.Q.E. and the L.I.E., and to the Queens NYC villages of Maspeth and Laurel Hill.

This 𝗦𝗨𝗡, 𝗠𝗔𝗥 𝟵, we’re delighted to welcome filmmaker 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗸 [ @chesanek ] for an evening of cinema and conversation around his powerful feature film 𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗟!

𝘕𝘖𝘔𝘖𝘛𝘖𝘗𝘖𝘞𝘌𝘓𝘓 is an experimental documentary set in a village in Florida, unraveling obscured histories through the legacies of two historical figures. One, an assassin operating under aliases for pro-slavery secessionists in 1865, contrasts with the other, an anti-colonial freedom fighter of the 1830s who resisted the U.S. government’s land theft and violence against Native people. Their stories converge posthumously in three vanished towns, now marked only by brown historical markers.

Structured as a travelogue, the film weaves landscapes, archival texts, and abstracted voiceovers to explore themes of deception, displacement, and erasure. Names and places remain shrouded, mirroring the loss of knowledge buried in village cemeteries, forgotten side roads, and moonlit swamps. Nomotopowell reflects on the fragility of memory, the violence of history, and the lingering ghosts of erased narratives.

Brent will be in attendance for a conversation following the screening. Don’t miss this incredible film, come through! 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗕 𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 🔗 𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗜𝗢! by @chesanek

New work: Directed, designed, and crafted the music video for 'I F*ck You Not,' the first single from the upcoming @chriszabriskie EP -Mayor Feedback-.

Chris is one of my oldest friends, and I was so moved when he invited me to work with him on this video. Not exaggerating when I say Chris is my favorite musician on the planet.

We shot the source footage on UHD and Hi8 video formats in Maspeth Queens, where the BQE, the LIE, and a bunch of cemeteries intersect.

Entrevista a Brent Chesanek, director de Nomotopowell.
Por Mauro Lukasievicz
Foco: FIDMarseille, Festival Internacional de Cine de Marseille.

"No se supone que Nomotopowell inspire a nadie a visitar el pueblo, pero reconozco mi complicidad en cómo presentar un retrato de tierras lejanas, al tiempo que intenta ofrecer iluminación y comprensión, puede conducir potencialmente a una gran destrucción y sufrimiento"
