This past autumn, I was lucky enough to help out director Patrick Biesemans with cutting his Musicbed Film Initiative-winning short, Embers & Dust. The short follows a young boy and his family amid the panic caused by Orson Welles's famous War of the Worlds broadcast in 1938. Patrick and I collaborated on the edit and the result was an elegant sci-fi short film about fear, imagination, and celestial jellyfish. Check out the film below as well as a few places it's been featured in. Special thanks to the entire team who brought this one to life. And stay tuned for more as this one runs the festival circuit.
