This summer while shooting my thesis film, I took photos on my old digicam only to find afterwards that it had been recording video clips while taking photos completely at random — I love the moments in these videos so much, and their utter lack of intention while we were out here putting everything we had into making something full of intention 🤡❤️‍🔥 c’est la vie! c’est filmmaking!! Here they are, alongside many other moments captured by other people’s cameras

man made lake is in the can, thank u to these special people who carried it on their shoulders all the way from new york + LA to shanghai + suzhou (and too many other countries to count) and back again <3 - Pt II.
