52docs / 23 - Look up!

Our 23rd film, sent on the 23rd.

I’m kicking myself it didn’t slot right in after a certain film about two brothers and their relationship with birds but here we go.

I watched half of our next film a couple of years ago.

Honestly it was so beautiful and inspiring I had to stop watching and then somehow never came back to it, so I decided to make that happen by adding it here.

Last week’s film really showed the intimacy possible when filmmaker and subject trust each other and go on a journey together. I remember this one felt the same - so much of what happens in front of the camera is because of everything that has happened off camera. But oh my, the camera truly captures some beauty here.

I’m excited to dive back in…
