In February of 2023, Nicholas came to Berlin, exhausted from not sleeping the night before and catching a flight at the crack of dawn. I asked him to sit down and be filmed for a part of a then-gestating idea for a new film. He was interviewed on camera for about 10 minutes, and then I stopped asking questions.

Now the two are finally united, to share with the public for the first time. The vignetting (and the reason I was able to zoom smoothly and quickly) is from using a C-mount lens from my Bolex on a GH4.
