“A young gay man speaking to his uncle about the struggles of the LGBTQ+ experience in the digital age”

Done in one take the camera travels from a wide to a close up (15ft in 13min). It was originally planned to use robotics in order to deliver consistent timing. Due to script changes, the motor could not achieve the necessary speed. My legendary gaffer Grayson Horan stepped in and managed to maintain a perfect speed at just over 1ft/min for 13min. You may recognize the pully system from “Stairwell My Love”.
