(2m26s, Digital, Audio, 2011)
Ericka Frederick’s beautifully shot “Walking Peace” took the ThirdCoastUWM group off guard when we first sat down to watch it. The film doesn’t hesitate in its opening with a young boy walking throughout the fall season of a neighborhood. The plot is very simple integrating the diagetic sounds found in the characters environment. The film’s direction then shifts, and begins to imitate that of a zoetrope that the young character seems to be endlessly caught on the ride. This transition stands out as the metamorphosis of the film.
An email was send out to Ericka so we could get her input on her film, and as soon as that is received we will add it to the post. So check back here shortly!
