The Burning House
If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It’s a conflict between what’s practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question.
Not a documentary film, but I think it is documentary photography if that is such a genre, and I think it really encapsulates the intimacy which I’d like to see in our finished K film. The images tells stories and are full of sentimentality and memory – qualities I hope our film can capture.
