“Any time you have a problem you have an opportunity.
If you had just seven good tones, those were the tones that had to be used…”
Beginning To See The Light was inspired by the beautiful voice of my friend Amy Lowrey and my fascination with the fact that some of the streets in Los Angeles are over 20 miles long. You can literally start driving at night and arrive at the other end in the day. Or, in other words: drive Sunset into the sunrise.
This short film was made in August 2020 for the Seven Tones Project, a collaborative initiative pairing quarantined musicians and filmmakers to create short films inspired by the music of Duke Ellington.
