Very slightly edited to remove two copyright issues, I am excited to be able to share this film — a labor of love created over last year’s summer and autumn months — with a larger audience.
Sixty-five minutes.
“Through a septuagenarian lens, attentive to a sense of lifetime completion and achievement, “Dusk Eyes” looks at all its themes [...] death, art, technology, sex, war, philosophy, consumerism, music, the environment and more [...] as they are reflected in work, in life, in expectation, and in dreams." — Zĕna Kōan
