A Catalog Of Anticipations
I held an impromptu screening of my New Short in the parking garage of the Universal lot this afternoon. Reaction was extremely positive, even though the film wasn't quite done; SXSW got a little bit in the way of finishing the score, but as it turns out it holds up pretty well without any music.
To clarify a few things, the name of this film is not A Catalog Of Anticipations. That's the title of what will hopefully be a three-channel triptych that will include this film as a centerpiece in concert with two other short works. It evolved from the piece I was working on last summer, called Upheave. Back in October, as I was putting the finishing touches on that film, I decided to lop off the last third and let it instead segue instead into a second film (I wrote at the time that it would be about matchboxes, and sure enough, it's full of them). The third piece was similarly conceived, although it hasn't been shot yet.
Ideally, I'd love to see the three exhibited together in the proper progenitorial order; but it's not entirely necessary, especially for the middle film. Regardless of how they're shown, separate or apart, they'll all share the same name. So with that in mind, here's a look at what used to be called Upheave until I removed the title sequence.

Thank you for not revealing..."little Lowery." Then it would have lived up to its original title.

I still don't know how you shot that by yourself. I like the acting too.

Really great, man... the texture and rhythm are pretty impressive.
I like the idea of someone seeing you do this and assuming you're some kind of crazy tree-fucker.

Where did you film this, and how the hell did you shoot it yourself?

Really impressive. It could have also been called "Good Morning". A great awakening or birth of sorts. The textures on your face, especially when we first see it, are fantastic.

Thank you for sharing it David.
I can't wait to see the trilogy in it's complete form.
