BLUE GUITAR (Feature Film - 2016)

Quote:
 
Based on the Wallace Stevens poem, BLUE GUITAR is about a relationship between two people; their internal turmoils, their external boredom, and their manipulations. Returning to the "relationship fallout" films I've done in the past (2011's CLEANERS; 2014's NIKKI), Kole Riggs stars as a man seemingly oblivious of the distress he puts his girlfriend through. Tiffany Jordan plays her, and shows - via an incredibly natural performance - her frustration, her personal conflict, and her exhaustion from the games played without her consent.

As BLUE GUITAR begins, there isn't an entirely big idea of what's going on - but there are key actions that take place that build and concede to the dynamic between the two characters. The dialogue turns from harmless bantering to something deeper, and silences become more and more bored for a character - highlighted by a ten-minute long take that taps the viewer into her state of mind. But while my trademarks are here (the aforementioned long take of silence, twentysomething characters, familial angst, fourth wall breaks, artistic expression), there's a more interesting direction I wanted to go with this story. One that seems to be chaotic, random, and ambiguous - but also is a little more concrete than you initially think.
He's got the fire, and he walks with it...
