MiND MY GOOFiNESS: the Self Portrait
Director of Photography
A strange dream. Favors for friends. The end of the world. . . It’s just one of those days for Alex as he runs errands he never needed to, while trying to make sense of a recurring deja vu throughout the journey of his day.
WHITEOUT
Director of Photography
Reno suffers from bouts of "white-outs" - moments in which he loses all agency and awareness. After coming to in a series of escalating environments, he wakes up to find a surgeon affixing a medical device to his face.
EVENTIDE
Director of Photography
Shot in Gotland, Sweden, EVENTIDE is a 30-minute single take filmed as dusk turned to night during the annual Perseid meteor shower. From its stationary position, the camera records the slow entrance and exit of several figures exploring the rocky shore flashlights in hand. The rhythmic pacing of their explorations reveal a considered yet organic choreography of bodies slowly moving in and out of frame in the liminal space where land meets water, where day meets night, where earth meets stars. EVENTIDE, like much of Lockhart’s work, invites contemplation, asks us to consider what we see and hear. The film has a solemn, almost dreamlike quality, one heightened by the night sky, the silhouettes searching in the dark, and the overwhelmingness of nature.
Anchors Away
Director of Photography
An ordinary man faces an impossible decision, one which no decent person should have to make. Anchors Away is a hallucinatory quest into the wilderness of one man’s psyche, where strange personalities are buried deep. Will he find the answers he’s looking for or be destroyed in the process?
