No Place Like Home

While filming in Space Engine for another video project, I was capturing this departure from Earth when a really great song was playing in Winamp. I found myself swept away by the majesty of it all and decided to make a standalone movie.

I hope you like it! It makes me feel sad and small, but also hopeful, and infinitely precious at the same time. And the soundtrack is one of the most powerful pieces of music I've heard in years.

PS That's all one long take, with me steering the camera with ridiculously delicate inputs.

This is filmmaker Todd Selby's portrait of hearing-impaired artist Christine Sun Kim, and explores her reclamation of sound, by means of converting it into a physical experience.
