Reverberance

Shot on two rolls of Super 8, Vision 50D and 200T in Los Angeles and New York, "Reverberance" is a collection of fragmented memories, a meditative reflection of an attempt to unpack experimental cinema (the relationship between camera movement, camera vision, and human perception) and my own aesthetic intentionality (shooting and editing the materials). The sound design features a layering of ambience audio gathered from Los Angeles, New York and Vietnam that I did throughout the year of 2019, overlapped interviews with Stan Brakhage, Jonas Mekas and Nathaniel Dorsky, different sound effects of film grain, film leader, film projector, implicitly paying tribute to the wonder of working with the physical film itself. The final audio is from a recording of my cousin "mumbling" when she was 6 months old.
