This past March I followed UK band Fanfarlo to Austin for SXSW to create more than a documentary, but a conceptual exploration of the themes of their album, Reservoir (à la Tarkovsky/Wim Winders with a bit of Frederick Wiseman). This four-part series is what resulted:
Episode I + introduction - “A dizzying, endless round of plugging and unplugging gear, noodling around on stage and explaining to someone why, even though you don’t know yourself.”
Episode II - “The Sexy Episode” they call it - “There’s something infantalising about being in a band in general, and being on tour specifically.”
Episode III - In the Studio - A behind-the-scenes look at their studio re-working of ‘Atlas’ for ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ soundtrack.
Episode IV - “The Honesty Episode” as they allude to it. “…marvel at Brian Gonzalez’s masterly camerawork and editing, once again doing a sterling job at making us look cooler by far than we actually are. Watching his films makes us want to be in Fanfarlo … which is lucky, I guess.”
An expressionistic, conceptual glimpse into the world of New York designers À La Disposition and their fall 2010 collection.
“When a man dies, he is hard and insensitive -hardness and strength are death’s companions; weakness is an expression of the freshness of beings.” -Wim Wenders

so I’m waiting outside the Lowes theater near Penn Station and suddenly…. well, you’ll see.
