Filmed from May 2023 to November 2024, in France and the US, using four different types of film, this music film pays tribute to the incredible resilience and transcendence of Shannon Shaw, accompanied by bone fide Cody Blanchard, Will Sprott, and Nate Mahan. 
 

Using public interviews and personal conversations, the film’s editing was based on the experimental projection bi-packing technique - overlaying 2 films one on top of the other - to fully convey the complexity of grief, and above all, the incredibly strong bond between a band and their audience in the face of adversity. An ode to resilience.
 

Shot in Ektachrome, TriX, Kodachrome and Vision 3, and using cross processing, all films were developed by hand. All the editing is made analogically, including frame by frame animation and overlays. The final edit was digitized for distribution purposes.

This is the third film of the Performance series, capturing musicians from the American Independent Scene live. Using a specific experimental cinema technique for each band matching their energy, all of these films are uniquely handmade: all captured on film, hand processed and edited by MaLo Sutra Fish. This series was initiated during Covid, seeing so many concerts cancelled, which ultimately impacted the economy of the American Independent music scene, already struggling with the streaming economy. Willing to keep advocating for independent and genuine music making, it grew into an on-going project highlighting the complexity of being a musician today while celebrating their indispensable existence.
