'STARRIER NIGHT'

"i gaze alone up at the night... wondering."
[3:44]
an artist slipping into madness.
'Starrier Night' is my Von-Gogh-inspired experimental shortfilm that pairs breathtaking celestial timelapses of star-stuff with deeply personal, heartbroken poetry of a lost soul...
The visual's narrative voice is painfully intertwined with the melancholic, brilliant flavors of Vincent van Gogh’s private letters towards the end of his life - a tribute to the tragic irony of the unseen artist who looked at the stars simply to dream.

1/1
Conceptually, the film uses the slow, crushing scale of the cosmos to mirror the heavy, internal stillness of grief. It is a modern cinematic letter written in the vocabulary of Vincent’s lonely nights ; looking up, and dedicated to anyone who has ever used the vastness of the universe to survive a broken heart.
SERIES 2.0
This film was really hard to create.
Many evenings on my own alone filming the stars.
Many evenings editing on my own
Many evenings alone.
After years of my filmmaking journey i have become rather accostomed to being alone.
Taking journeys on my own, exploring on my own, editing on my own.
On the edge of the highest cliff in England, a heartbroken soul records the twinkling cosmos for comfort. The film merges the haunting, nocturnal philosophy of Vincent van Gogh's starry night with my own raw contemporary poetry.

SERIES 2.0
Honestly, I feel i have come to the end of my creative road.
As an artist who has poured his heart into his work,
i have no more to give without receiving anything back.
The feedback loop for my work has been closed for many years :
Creating is fun, but only when people see it and enjoy it.
If nobody is enjoying it ; then why am i making it?
The last time anyone ever really complimented me on my
video-craft has been a long long longgg time.
Either i'm a totally shit filmmaker, or nobody gives a shit anymore.
This isn't a cry for help, it's my truth.
Not even my own family give a fuck about my work.
I have made one of the deepest solo websites of anyone in my filmmaking generation, filled with entirely unique content, handmade, exclusive, completely made on my own
(planned, shot, edited, delivered)
completely dedicated and time-consuming to the purist archival of my moving image journey
; and seemingly nobody cares
I consider 'Series 3' this my final series until things change.
Signing out - Fred
