Elegy
Assaulted by raging elements, a lone wanderer treks toward a mysterious doorway. THE MAKING OF: svad.exposure.co/elegy THE POEM: How do I get back? The sun rises and the sun sets then hurries around to rise again The wind blows south and then turns north Around and around it goes blowing in circles Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full Everything is wearisome beyond description No matter how much we see we are never satisfied No matter how much we hear we are not content You can sense it You can smell it in the air and taste it in the water you drink This place is broken Every sideways glance Every word spoken without listening Every time we size up the opposition is proof that we are prone to wander Enough Enough with constructing triumph Enough with crafting success Enough with formulas for happiness in a life that is not made of math Enough with selling a secret about comparing your greatness to my own, fashioning an identity through rivalry, counterfeiting love with a gilded trophy, and crucifying the competition in a race with no finish line that we are not actually running There is enough greatness There is enough victory There is enough happiness and it does not belong to me I do not need to make myself more I do not need to build it or invent it I do not need to create a path because he has already done it The plans have been laid The ransom delivered He has already made a way home THE CREW: talent RACHEL RUPERT producer MATTHEW DISBRO executive producer RANDY CRAVEN writer/director/editor NICHOLAS LIVANOS cinematographer/operator a-cam/colorist DAVID GEORGE production designer/sfx/vfx ZACH C GRAY wardrobe & makeup CAITLIN SAAD sound design KYLER POTTER music RYAN TAUBERT www.musicbed.com/artists/ryan-taubert/21327 english voice over JOHN NIXON hebrew voice over KESSIA REYNE BENNETT 1st AD/assistant producer MARK COMBERIATE associate producer BRAYDEN NIELSEN location managers TOM SMITH & RICHARD SCHWARZ 1st AC a-cam NICK LINDSAY operator b-cam JEFFERSON RODRIGUES 1st AC b-cam DAVID BUNZEY property master EMILY MASTRAPA gaffers MATTHEW HADLEY & JOHN BUTLER key grip ROBERT PASINGER best boy ZACH KAST grip & BTS photography GEORGE NELSON grip DAVID MANCAO pyrotechnicians LIS ANDERSON & MATT ANDERSON additional music RICHARD MORGAN craft service DEANNA MOORE special thanks KENT ROBERTSON
