WAS THAT BOULDER ALWAYS THERE

Six pairs of Alabamians sit in the forest for an hour. Birds screech. Vines slowly strangle whatever trees they can get their tendrils on. Insects have constant sex. Or at least want it. In a place so alive, sometimes the thing to do is let yourself be quiet.

THE CRY FILM

29 people were asked if they could cry on camera. Some did, some didn’t. Some said they couldn’t, and then did. This is an ode to the bricks in our foreheads, the faces we make before we cry, the girlfriend we neglected, the child we lost, and the raw stuff we let ourselves feel. Because you’re better off going in and feeling it, than staying on the outside.
