kickstarter for the new project. help us out!
For those of you that don’t know, I have been a sufferer of a form of anxiety disorder known as Depersonalization Disorder since the 10th grade. Essentially it is a disorder that severely skews the way a person perceives themselves and the world around them. Although it is quite under control now, it wasn’t for awhile. Since I have resumed my normal layer of consciousness, I have wanted to make a film about how it felt to experience life in this way. Now in college, I have actually found quite a few people who went through the bizarre state of mind that is DPD, and through discussing with fellow students and other suffers of the disorder, I feel that the idea that I have for it’s visual representation is perfect: I am ready to put this idea for a film into action.
Production: We Stole The Kids “Mr. Minus”
My very good friend, mr. dan lonner (aka august coupe) and I just finished the final cut of his group We Stole The Kids’ new single. It will be dropping the 19th, coinciding with the dropping of their first ep, really exciting stuff. This video is real solid and am super happy to my name on it. Rather than blathering on, it’ll be up and y’all can talk about it or not talk about it. Much love to them and to my boy Lonner.
In other news, two major collaborations with the great sebsom (http://www.sebsom.com) are in the works. Along with a gallery show of our work and a private secret screening later on this year in NYC. Really excited to be working with him, and our friend Michael Valinsky (his debut book selfsame moments is pretty crazy, highly recommend it.) Lots of stuff in the works, not to mention its back to russia for me to finish the final stages of shooting on “Culture of Sleep” (which is still a working btw).
much love,
j.s.
