Holier Than Thou

Post-Process Reflection:

Entirely made up of personal footage captured over many years of my life, converted and distressed in an analog form to accompany the original music. This short film explores the humanity that liews in the personal abstraction and alteration of memory. The music, which begins with a flipped sample of an unreleased song I wrote in 2020 during quarantine (Make it Holy), was also distressed and altered during the production process to reflect the visuals. Rather than pursuing a perfect, polished rendering of whatever moment I attempted to literally capture at that time, I utilized the digital and analog circuit bending to add human entropy to the piece. Throughout the chaos of glitches, guitar and turbulent white noise I hope to shine light on the poetic futility of our ever-growing pursuit to perfect the act of capturing and, in doing so, quantify moments in time.
