We shot this film in Germany and Austria for Kentholz. They’re furniture makers who use wood from abandoned lodges in the Austrian alps that are 500-800 years old.
I like minimalist cinema. I find there’s a strong effect when the camera is still. Similar to how one can view a canvas on a wall and experience different things over minutes.
The opening image is a blooming Rose of Jericho. It’s an unusual plant that can go dormant in the desert for decades. Then as soon as its watered, it starts to unfurl and bloom. In the same way how wood in the abandoned lodges is given new life as furniture.

To create the water effects, I used a snorkel system with an assortment of specialty underwater lenses, which allowed me to maneuver the camera into unique positions. I found the underwater distortions quite beautiful and also played with the angle to get the effect where it looked like the talent was walking on water. One of the lens’ focal plane was the lens element itself, which made for an interesting image in which the water droplets on the lens could be in focus as she wipes them off.
