When my father died he left behind a booklet of poetry that revealed much of what was never spoken about while he lived.
This is a short experimental film I made featuring one of those poems. The film was shot on 16mm b&w film, hand processed and then treated with a few dyes.
The original edit was done on a Steenbeck flatbed editor. Digital editing was used to add a soundtrack, audio effects and final credits.
Camera and Direction: Ivan Hughes
