Matthewimagine if you set up a process in which two actors who barely know each other have to spend 2 intensive hours running tasks. now a task is a set of guide lines in which to operate. for example; ask a question using no words, the other person must answer the question you are actually asking before you move on and swap roles.
now imagine during this two hour journey through 20 different tasks a camera was capturing 2 minutes of the tasking every 11 minutes. these 2 minute chunks are not allowed to be edited or tampered with. In the interim 11 minutes in between shooting tasks the camera must film ‘life’ and convey a passing of time. This footage will be assembled in chronological order to create a film.
this is what we have spent our time devising and creating in the last three days, the resultant film experiment is called Tuesday and will premiere in two hours here at FilmLab. stay tuned we may post a chunk or two soon.
