Al and me just decided one night to make a short without characters or script about an only half-remembered story of disappearance. The scenes depict places I frequented often as a child and teen. Night Time, in part, is about a missing girl who remains missing and the consequences of such a conundrum. Lynch is an inspiration, of course, but mystery stories generally fascinate me. It just so happens that here locations and setting and sounds are the main focus, rather than action and plot. I think for a lot of these stories (especially a film like Sluizer’s The Vanishing [88]) the things around narrative, around plot can be just as unsettling. The rest stop in Vanishing freaks me out every time, for instance.

Emilie’s music is brilliant as always. I like the way her music builds so slowly and yet is always smartly restless.

Thanks again for the kind words and attention.
