The Second to Last Piece

Today we filmed my conversation with my mom, Teren de Cossy. We covered why she moved to Ireland, the places we lived there and the changes we witnessed together. Here are some images from the shoot, courtesy of Jim Cyb.

Watching and Learning

I have been voraciously consuming documentary films, with the aspiration that my editing practice would be reinvigorated. I'm simultaneously awed and intimidated by all the beautiful work I've seen and it has been helpful to remind me of the story I am telling.

The link is to a beautiful film by Chiara Clemente, it is a poetically shot documentary that pays homage to 6 female artists living and working in New York.

Audio

Looking at footage, writing and organizing cannot be done without the audio for me. Recording my own voice and working with the audio files is so much fun. I recorded a conversation on skype with my mom and it was such a laugh. The unscripted conversation is really what I'd like to explore more. The conversations then can become intervals between interviews and b roll can illustrate them also.

Finally a bit of a breakthrough!!!
