What We Did Last Summer

One morning, one hour, one last summer shoot.

Last summer, our Lisbon-based team was in Nuremberg with us to make a short film. With an hour to spare one morning, we took Caro into our garden and started shooting.

The heat was already intense, the flowers were burning in the sun, and we were getting dangerously close to the next thing on the schedule. What you see here came together quickly and instinctively. One of those shoots that almost didn’t happen, but did. An hour that somehow became something more, bringing to mind the opening lines of William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence:

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

— William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
