Reel 05 of 06, brand film

Open Studio

Press play to hear the film’s motif. The full film plays here once it is cleared for release.

A hotel that opens its kitchen, its workshops and its roof to the city, filmed on the day it did.

Layer 01

Aster Hotels was opening its back of house to the public for one day. We proposed filming that day as it happened, with no second takes.

Layer 02

Structured as a walk through the building, top to bottom, following whoever happened to be holding the key.

Layer 03

Three handheld units connected by radio, cut live on location. The arches of the building became the film's frame.

Layer 04

The hotel recorded as an instrument: doors, lifts, pans and voices tuned into one rising loop.
