The vision that we share for this short film will explore the space between a conscious mind clouded by constant digital input and a conscious mind connected to nature, and source energy.
The artistic and energetic connection between Todd and Gordon was apparent from the very first meeting. Both men have a deep respect for each other's work and found that their visions for moving forward fit together seamlessly. There is also a shared sense of importance to bringing this work into existence.
Inspired by a dream, Todd's transcendent music delves into the depths of human connection and the fleeting beauty of the subconscious. It is during these dreams that we learn of our true potential to love, appreciate beauty, and to feel oneness with the Universe. Each morning, in a cruel twist of fate, these lovely dreams come to an end with the rising of the Sun; replaced with disconnect and the harsh realities of living in today's modern world. Offering a sanctuary of introspection, Gordon's vision will capture Todd's journey from life in urban disarray to desert tranquility and beyond.
Here our lives, aren’t drowning in sorrow - Here our love, is safe and serene
It wont leave, a lasting impression - Each morning the Sun, will teach you her lesson
You’re not free, you’ll wake up tomorrow - You’re not free, it’s only a dream
You’re not free, they lead and you follow - But just close your eyes, now your free to dream
*******
Here there’s calm, and fear’s not concerning - Here there’s faith, we all yearn to keep
Gently sleep, perhaps you’re still learning - This won’t last for long, the Earth she keeps turning
You’re not free, you’ll wake up tomorrow - You’re not free, it’s only a dream
You’re not free
“I knew it was meant to be beautiful, intense, and cerebral”.
