From the Communication Arts 2012 Photography Annual – “This short film tells a story about parenting, love and coping with the loss of a child. It highlights a long forgotten photographic process, the oratone, while celebrating the lasting power of photography. The challenge was weaving the threads of the story into a subtle, graceful and elegant film that relies less on facts and more on emotions to carry the message. By combining abstract and evocative moving images with the narrative, the piece takes on the qualities of a visual poem rather than a documentary.” – Communication Arts 387.
Special Thanks to everyone involved, especially Tom and the Townsend family for allowing me to make the film. www.markkatzman.com
