Stylistic Notes: The style of storytelling aims to be simple, yet subtle. There is no speech in the movie, and all remaining elements seek to combine to create a magical dimension to mundane setting. Other Notes: The Film was shot over three consecutive nights with a skeleton crew. We shot on the Cannon XLH1 using a P&S adapter to enable the use of prime lenses. The film was shot concurrently with the 'Men Who Lie' music clip.
