The Accidental Self Portrait







Elements of set-dressing for pivotal scene.
While the stranger rifles through the drawers and pores over the objects around the bedroom, he inadvertently triggers  camera, set on delayed timer. This captures his image, or some part of it... this will become important later in the film.

The resulting image is not immediately clear, but acts as a 'footprint in the sand', evidence that there is some presence in the house...

Project Supporters

TATSUKO: supporters

 

Because of its running time of just over 44 minutes, Tatsuko was ineligible for state funding. It was deemed too long for Arts Council of Wales funding, while falling short of the length considered by the Film Agency for Wales. Post-production required funds to finance the time Wyn Lewis Jones spent in the sound studio on composing the soundtrack. I decided to attract financial assistance through the Crowd-funding model.
A big thank you to the following patrons who pledged support for TATSUKO.
