Photo----synthesis

Concordia University is like a nursery for budding indie music and film talent. Imagine my surprise when I came across this film short by filmmakers Ranya Karafilly, Liam Chapman, Geneva Guerin, and Sonya Reynolds. I think it might have been for a student project (?) but then again, I’m not sure when it was made. It’s about a deaf photographer with insomnia.

But lo’ and behold, the actor who plays the deaf photographer is none other than Tim Fletcher of The Stills, who was also student at Concordia, earning a BFA in 2002. Band mate, Dave Hamlin is in it too. And the music is provided by Patrick Watson. I can only assume it’s the same Patrick Watson who recently won the Polaris Music Prize.

The time, the place, the talent— amazing when they all connect.
