Eve's Dream


This five-minute piece is what became of the longest dream of Eve which we get to see, except in the actual short film it is shortened down immensely. Eve's Dream was a collaboration with some WAAPA student where Emily Bowman choreographed this experimental performance.

a humble update



In one way, a film is never completely finished. You can spend forever perfecting it and changing it, but would we ever see any films at all if they remained a work in progress? This Too Shall Pass was completed for submission when my course came to an end, but wasn't exactly in the state I wished it to be in before letting it go and moving on. Now, after a lengthy break and time apart, I have approached this project again with the main objective to clean up the sound design and get a score for it that is not borrowed from God's gift in form of a composer, Dario Marianelli. I did not have a sufficient sound designer before (please do not question either room-tone or reverb of the ADR, I was in total darkness doing the best I could), but have now faithfully engaged Chris to do his magic.

A short dance film emerged as well from one of the lengthier dreams, simply titled Eve's Dream and is bound to head for dance film festivals. While Cris is working on the sound I came across this short scene which got totally scrapped, but which now, a few months later, seems like a perfect beginning instead. The narrative structure is such a jumble in this project, it is and has always been all over the place. While the cut made so far is 24 minutes, I am hoping to shorten it down to 20 minutes, excluding credits. That only means one thing though: 5,760 darlings to kill.
