Director Statement
When poet S. Lewis Feemster first approached me to realize his poems into film, I knew innately it was going to be a profound collaborative effort. I absorbed his every word obsessively in order to craft a unique visual journey for the audience. The LENS-MUSE journey encompasses humanity’s relation to technology and beyond. From childhood we are bred on screens, seeking validation from digitized personas, rapidly evolving computing power breaking through our blood brain barriers, the digital world no longer digital. Yet both on earth and in the universe, though all of the trials and tribulations that make up our collective experience, there is still so much left to discover.
