Shadow of the Valley

For a little over a year, I filmed and spliced ​​together different moments of which, to be honest, I don't remember much. The final result was edited onto two 600ft reels. There is no chronological progression, only fragments of a diary that I like to see as imaginary. I started filming in the spring with the aim of testing eight cameras. I filmed when I felt like it, day after day, and by the time summer arrived, I had accumulated a few reels and other old cameras. So in the winter, I decided to give shape to a film containing mistakes, notes, drafts, moments, and walks with pretty girls in the shadow of the valley where I grew up. "Shadow of the Valley" is my most personal and intimate work, made for myself only. I think anyone else will find it fake, self-centered, and downright pretentious.
