First webbing, woo!
("Webbing," not "clipping," yes?)
Later, Tara Thorne — arts editor at the Coast and a weekly entertainment columnist for CBC Radio Halifax’s Information Morning — delivers her first short, i said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud. Thorne mixes pop-culture savvy (her title refers to dialogue by Krusty the Clown of Simpsons fame), great music (Sarah Harmer, In-Flight Safety) and a minimalist script and sets to tell a story of a man who is stunned by infatuation. In the three-minute film, musician Brian Borcherdt plays the besotted man to singer-songwriter Jill Barber’s oblivious woman.
"I feel my nausea subsiding," Thorne says afterwards. "When I heard the mandolin come up on the Harmer song [I Am Aglow, which starts the film], I was like, 'Oh shit.' And then the picture came up and it looked and sounded great and I started to feel relieved."
Istlpqatqpl's spare quality grew out of necessity and purpose. "The white room idea was a total location cheat to save time and money," Thorne says. "Otherwise I wanted minimalism because it was really like bringing a piece of writing to life, and I wanted it to be clear what I was saying, so I didn't want a bunch of props or fancy crap in there getting in the way."--Sean Flinn
The whole shebang be here.
