Today marks my 31st time around the sun and I’ve been given the best gift. the chance to share something dear to my heart. Not some shit for a band or a brand. But something for you. My dear friend, distant acquaintance, neglected family member, or occasional stranger who looks at my work. this piece came from a need for routine in a time of uncertainty, to connect with friends that we weren’t allowed to see and to make sense of the situation we found ourselves in. @mitchdequilettes and I spent the first two months of quarantining calling our friends and filming over 40 people through their windows. Some friends, some strangers, Sometimes shouting through windows, sometimes directing over the phone. Some scenes were set up, some scenes were complete chance and luck. And we were sure lucky enough to have some help from some talented friends. @jimbosaggins did original music and put together everything using instruments and objects laying around his apartment, mike oconnor did the sound design, which he recorded on his weekly quarantine walks, @mordukhay were not only featured in the title card/ending shot, but also designed all the graphics too. Last but not least @florence.fka.whitelist aka @mrjeradw and @iamallimaxwell helped push us across the finish line to give you this. This thing. This thing, this film, this time capsule is a reminder to myself to cherish the time we get spend together, even if it’s brief. and to remind you that even if we dont see each other as much I think of you often. Thank you for another year. Love, Pham
