PHIL FISK explores the concept of SEPARATION in an emotive motion portrait featuring the compelling connection and interplay between 2 dancers on a lockdown set at PARK VILLAGE STUDIOS.
A few words from Phil…
“The entire project was shot under during the lockdown but after restrictions had been lifted to allow some industry return. Inevitably some of these restrictions would limit what we could achieve but instead I chose to turn this on its head and make these barriers part of the story.
The project was a response to the pandemic, alluding to the concept of being apart but still remaining connected.
The direction of the film was simple - to leave the dancers opportunities to improvise in the space we had created. There is a meeting, a build up to the connect and inevitably a parting.
The sound designer Ali Friend came on board after we sent him the edit. The heartbeats create a rhythm to the film with the two beats building and going in and out of synch as the film progresses. Ali perfectly captured the “space “ that the dancers exist in…making that space seem larger and deeper than it was in reality.”
