The Alchemy of David. A film I shot and edited with
@nicholas_woytuk ‘s direction
We set off to make a film about
@david_michael_kennedy but along the way, through talking with him, we wondered, in today’s world of increasingly available automation, has process become more important than output? Shooting on black and white film instead of digital, and hanging out of a helicopter instead of hiring a drone operator, we considered this Luddite fallacy. Now available to watch on
@directorsnotes or on the link in my bio :)
