Commissioned for LIFT’s (Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto) 30th anniversary, this brief black and white sojourn finds a father and son wandering, midway upon the journey of their lives, as the saying goes. Vincent Grenier adds slow motion heat to the looking with his first emulsion work in decades. Stale dated film stock courtesy of Gary Popovich. Mike Cartmell takes a nod as the father. Intertitles courtesy of Adam Phillips, hand written by Kika Thorne. To know what one fears is to know what one wants.
