atom & dream

There is a need in all of us to have a place to hide or to store certain memories, thoughts, impulses, hopes and dreams. These are a part of our lives that we can’t resolve or act upon, but at the same time we are afraid to jettison them. For some this is a physical place, for others it is a mental space and for a few it is neither.

I think the point of cinematography, of what we do, is intimacy. Is intent, is the balance between the familiar and the dream, it is being subjective and objective, it is being engaged and yet standing back and noticing something that perhaps other people didn’t notice before, or celebrating something that you feel is beautiful or valid, or true or engaging in some way.
