One-Take (2:25)
Dir. Austin Brady
Filmmakers have long sought to capture the essence and personality of real life through the medium of the two-dimensional object of film. Taking inspiration from Warhol’s Screen Tests, I opted to use the camera in motion, opposed to the static point of view in the original.
