Blessed are the forgetful.
Starring: @itsjustesther_ and @chrisjasonstraker
Title cards: @persona_la_ave
Montage: by me
This film came out of a workshop I took with @mononoawarefilm. I decided to challenge myself to tell a short story using just one 50-foot cartridge of Ektachrome 100D.
That summer, I was obsessed with Slim Aarons' photographs and wanted to borrow some of that world for a little love story of my own. While spending two afternoons in Montauk celebrating a friend's birthday, I asked Esther and Chris if they'd be down to make something together. No script, just some loose ideas, improvised directions, beautiful scenery, and a camera.
The challenge was not only working with the physical limitations of analog film, but also figuring out how to tell a story with so little footage. How much could I successfully convey in just two minutes?
It was also my first time developing color reversal (slide) film myself, which made the experience even more rewarding.
A little love story about longing, nostalgia, and the versions of reality we sometimes create for ourselves. ā¤ļø

Pilot Club started on a random Sunday in July 2023 and quickly became the best part of my week. We met with purpose, with love, and with the simple goal of creating a space that felt like ours. Week after week it grew into this ritual where we show up, laugh, connect, talk about life, and experience music together. Iām endlessly grateful for these two beautiful souls and for the community weāve built over these two years.
These are opening credits of my dream sitcom, live every Sunday at a little club on Grand St. šāāļøš¤Ŗš®āšØš
