The Line We Draw

Inside, we imagine safety. Outside is where we put whatever feels uncertain.

The doorways in The Beautiful Collapse question that separation. Environmental change can feel distant until it reaches the places we know. We wanted to look at the comfort a boundary gives us, and the limits of that comfort. A line can mark where a room begins without deciding what stays outside.
——————————  THE BEAUTIFUL COLLAPSE
We created this series to explore how we respond to a world in disarray. When an image of loss is beautiful, does it help us understand what’s happening, or make it easier to admire and move on? 
Inspired by Gothic Romanticism, we were drawn to the tension between beauty and ruin. Sand gathers until somewhere familiar no longer feels the same. There is no single dramatic moment to point to, just the growing weight of what has been allowed to accumulate. 
The finished series moves through three spaces: an entrance, a box, and a corner filled with sand. The entrance suggests the boundary we draw between ourselves and the outside world. The box turns that world into something framed and observed. In the corner, the change can no longer be kept at a distance. 
Working with Entity’s thirteen dancers, we placed the precision of trained bodies and carefully made clothing inside an environment that neither could control. The contrast matters: so much human effort, beside a force that carries on regardless. We made these photographs beautiful deliberately. As image-makers, we are part of the same culture we’re questioning. The title holds that contradiction: something can be beautiful to look at and still show something being lost. Our intention is to make room for both reactions, and to ask what remains with us after we stop looking. ——————————

I briefly played w/ Sir Patrick Stewart on a sitcom called “Blunt Talk”. I wasn’t even a big Trek guy, but I knew of his global renown, his commitment to the craft, and his genre-agnostic approach that spanned Shakespearian theater, David Lynch, Mel Brooks, the Old Testament, Stan Lee, Charles Dickens; from the brilliant comic mind of Seth MacFarlane to the darkened door of Jeremy Saulnier.

I improvised something when we shot and kinda “went for it”. Symptoms of the disease of thirst. “Only a few lines of dialogue but GOD do I want to shine!” My improv and boldness made Stewart break character and after one take in particular, Michael Lehmann yelled “Cut!” and Sir Patrick started a round of applause and stared at me, mid clap, with a smirk and a knowing look of some kind.

Later that day, we were standing at craft service and he told me some anecdotes about he and Sir Ian McKellan, and when I told him I was an aspiring writer/director, he said “Well, I hope you’ll consider me when you’re ready. I’m with ICM and Circle of Confusion-“

The generosity and humility, from my vantage point, was off the charts. He’ll be missed for a great many performances, but I’ll miss him for his performance as “self”. It made a budding, and deeply thirsty, actor feel welcome and celebrated.

Heavyyyyyyyy

I hope this song goes viral like fake news and rumours
