'tetrahedron' short film

Is it still a kingdom amidst a wild decline in life? Director: Jason Mannings Director of Photography: Jason Mannings Production Company: Alt BC Edit/Color/Sound: Jason Mannings Music: Souns (Michael Red) Thanks: Tetrahedron Outdoor Club + Kodak + ISLA Records Something of a mood-sketch, shot casually during an overnight hike in a fave sub-alpine zone on the coast of British Columbia. Hiked in right after a lovely little music festival in the woods. I brought just over two half cartridges of film, which gave me about 3-min that I could roll for — Kodak 500T & Tri-X. Wish I'd let the shots breathe longer, but alas, was hella rationing those seconds. Perhaps next time I'll bring more film. ... I once watched a raven, Perched on a bluff, Unzip my knapsack, Remove my lunch box, And fly away. Congratulations, madam. I always marvel at those dark feathered pairs, Reigning high over their respective enclaves, Be they flapping in the present, Or soaring thru the arcane. A hot mess of ancients forests, so recently upturned, What if someone typed, Replace all [woodlands] with [timberlands]. Is it still a kingdom, I wonder, amidst a wild decline in life? Let us dream of somewhere without many of us, Fit for a visit, sometimes, to search or recall. A place with tools to do so much with so few, And yet the wisdom to all but set them aside. Nature knows life as moments. Brief is a sunrise. A flicker. A ripple. A gust. If earthly matters do and then die, Should we all not perhaps keep that in mind? ... https://www.jasonmannings.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jasonmannings/ http://www.michael-red.com/ https://isla.bandcamp.com/album/souns-re
