This is The Visual Texture. Cinema takes from a multicultural, bi-racial, Writer-Director
A personal journey through cinema and identity as a Third Culture Kid. Discover how films like "The Red Balloon," "Lawrence of Arabia," and "Chungking Express" shaped my understanding of impermanence and belonging, influencing my approach to visual storytelling and filmmaking.
Every father should watch Mary Bronstein's 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.' Through Rose Byrne's career-defining performance and Christopher Messina's claustrophobic cinematography, the film strips away Instagram-filtered motherhood to reveal uncomfortable truths about postpartum depression, societal gaslighting, and the relentless demands placed on mothers. It's an unflinching look at maternal experience that will spark necessary conversations long after viewing.
Light Currents is my way of geeking out about what makes certain films stick with you visually. As someone who's constantly toggling between making movies and falling in love with them, I've become obsessed with how cinematography can hit you right in the feels.
Let’s talk about the visuals in "La Chimera" because you can practically feel the entire film with your hands. There's something about how cinematographer Hélène Louvart shot this film that makes it feel like you're simultaneously watching something ancient and something happening right now.
Ever felt like you're stuck between worlds? That's Arthur's whole vibe in this film. Fresh out of prison, this English archaeologist (Josh O'Connor) has a supernatural knack for finding Etruscan tombs and a heart still haunted by his missing girlfriend. Back with his scrappy crew of Italian tomb raiders, he's dowsing for treasures
Cinema is a conversation rooted in perspective. Through 'The Visual Texture,' I explore films through the lens of a multicultural filmmaker, finding the filmmakers behind the frame and the human connections that make stories resonate across cultures.
