PLAYBACK: A COMING OF AGE SHORT
It’s always creatively stimulating joining a crew that is so welcoming, and generally fun to be around, that capturing film stills is the third best part of the production - the food was #1.
Filmed over a few days, “Playback” is the retelling of a man’s life through the magic of burnt CDs. The cast and crew did an amazing job of blending the past and present through a concise and thoughtful story; it was a pleasure being the unit stills photographer for such an amazing production.
