An abstract film about the stories we need to keep alive. "The Story" deals with how we as human beings need a story to live our lives. Do we exist without a story? What if we had no story to tell to anyone? Would we be accepted in the society?
 

A truly zero budget film...All the snaps are from my digital camera while the live footage was shot using the borrowed camera from Lance {the DoP on my short films}. The photographs were taken at Bren's birthday party at his farm down in Matamata, NZ while I shot the live footage at his house back in Auckland. The photographs were taken at various points of the night while some of them were taken early morning, just as the bonfire was burning out in the morning sunrise. Some others were random snaps I took at some shopping mall, my house, at school -in no particular order.

The idea was to make a film just for myself.:-) Self-Indulgence to the max. Bren was gracious enough to pose for the moving images and record the voice over while he still had other stuff to do. To date Bren keeps telling me, he still can not understand this film of mine but then as I said this is self-indulgence to the max.
