Organic Machine, short film

posted October 18, 2024 #

I've been working with Talking with Hands to help promote the upcoming album Organic Machine. We've released two prior singles - each with music videos and remixes of the album track. It's a lot of work to put together beforehand but the results are worth it. Today, we release the third (and final) single before the album is out but this time we've got a full-on short film!

Directed by TJ Masters, "Organic Machine" was shot in Austin, TX on Kodak film. The effects were created in pre-production and most everything in the piece is a first take, since film is expensive and time was fleeting! I think the results speak for themselves but if you need any further enticement to hit that play button, there's always this.

Maybe this is lazy but I get a Shane Carruth vibe from the short - ala Primer. If you stick around for the whole thing, there's a bit of a Michel Gondry vibe and a pixel animation by yours truly.
Along with the short film we also released another maxi-single with two remixes. It's on Bandcamp, AmpWall and everywhere else. Please enjoy.
