 | festreviews Jan 11 | Synopsis: There was no plan. I found some pages I had written over twenty years ago. I read the words whilst Oli and Joe slipped deep into an improvised, ambient jam - a cognisant, responsive soundscape conjured up to bring the prose to life. It was all recorded live in a few takes. We gave the recording to Julian Hand who spent a few months creating the visuals. We hope you enjoy the trip. Review by Andie Karvelis: Felix Bechtolsheimer provided the wording for this journey into what felt like an alternate version of Wonderland. The voice over was very well done and it carried you on this ride with no destination in mind. Julian Hand created the very stylized overlapping images, some colorized with a negative image effect that whizzed by on screen making you feel like you were on a roller coaster. The music added a sense of mystery and at moments discomfort, but I think that was exactly what Joe Harvey-White and Oli Bayson intended. Emotion, colors, and sound all wash over you again and again drawing you deeper into this very trippy film. I have to admit, my favorite line was "The voices of the damned are from south Florida". Being born and raised in Florida, that sounds about right. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
