Stay the Same

  • The Feltron Report

    Nicholas Felton has been recording each years worth experiences in a quite different way. At the end of each year he produces a data report of his life.  They are kind of fascinating in an odd way as you glean odd bits of information to build a picture of his life.  His last report for…

  • #11 Mum & patron saints of obscurity

    Me and my mum have developed a small tradition over the last few years of visiting shrines and sites possibly of pagan origin, often purported to have healing properties, the more obscure the better. We both enjoy the comedy and absurdity in these stories, (I am an atheist and mum a pagan), and the way…

  • #9 What the locals think

    A few weeks ago I sent a letter to the local community asking for to responses to this project. This caused some confusion as I think people thought I wanted responses to the final film as opposed to the ideas and process behind it, so I sent a few questions as starting points. These included …

  • More wind & a small river

    Ha ha! My spirits may have lifted but the weather definitely hasn’t. This is the worst winter I have experienced since moving here! Today the winds are stronger than ever, check out the 100mph gusts in the met office forecast.  So, I literally tethered the tripod down this morning and it worked. Haven’t got as…

  • A Change in the Weather

    So on Saturday, after the tripod nearly blew over (see last post),  I walked around the coast to look at the atlantic ocean. I took some music with me by a few composers I’m considering for the film and sat on a hill top watching the hail storms blow in and clear again. The island…

  • Response #8 Dad

    TRAPPED IN TIME! I don’t know where the title, STAY THE SAME, came from or why, but it seems that a condition of life is that we are limited in time and we have changed and will change. So there is something of a trap, set by yourself, that has incredible resonance and poignancy. You…

  • Trapped in time

    The weather has been pretty wild and there is more forecast to come. I came out one morning last week and the platform was covered in seaweed and pebbles so I have taken to hanging kitchen weights off the tripod in a pair of pink socks on windy days. A very girls own way to…

  • Agnes Varda

    Eighty year old Agnes Varda walks backwards through her incredible life revisiting places and people.

  • Occidentally Singing Outloud

    Another little film made with my mobile phone attempting to catch a moment on the beach at sunset. I kind of forgot I was filming and started to sing out loud to the music on my headphones so I made it part of the film.

  • #7 Emma Lindley

    I am always travelling these days and what I’ve discovered is that many things, although seemingly different and far away, are essentially the same.  A plane is a plane is a plane.  An apartment, whether in London or New York, furnished or empty, is where you lay your head.  Friends on both sides of the…
