Make Me A Doorway Short film/Videopoem

Hey all! So this is not my film Friday post, but I was approached by Jesse Brooks to see if I would help spread the word and give a few thoughts on their short film "Make Me a Doorway." I checked it out, and since it was a fabulous piece of work, I told her absolutely I'd share it:

It was beautiful work, and I loved the match-up of the cinematography and the narration. I thought it worked really well. And I loved the subject matter and the range of the piece as well. I think short, regular poetry may not work quite as well in video form, so having it sort of longer and more of a prose poem kind of carried you along like a story word. My only problem was that I sometimes couldn't understand the narrator, but she also added character to the piece, so it still definitely worked.

Anyway, check it out. Thanks Jesse for the great work!
