Raw Vision Short Film Competition
Below is Brett Long and Ian MacLeod's entry into the 2019 Raw Vision short film competition.
This film was made from photographs of a series of sculptures done by Jordan MacLachlan from 2005 to 2008. The sculptures often have multiple instances of each character in different poses. The entire work was bequeathed to the Art Gallery of Burlington by a private collector.
