Adolescent Memory // Experimental Short Film
Director/producer/editor: Taylor Bingham // Production: Reikon Films LLC // Music: Kyle Preston - Midnight (Licensed via artlist)
By accident, I searched for solid ground by going to a lighthouse. I missed home and remembered how going to the beach was an all-day affair as a child. Our family lived about an hour from Tybee Island, GA, and every summer, I'd end up at the beach with family or with one of my childhood best friends. Later in life, I traveled there with college best friends, some of whom are no longer with us.
Another confession. I've never really cared for the beach. I drifted from my childhood best friends and then moved away from college ones. When the outside world started to feel unstable, I found myself on a trip to the beach.
LEVI’S // TAKE ME BACK (SPEC)
Director/producer/editor: Taylor Bingham // Line producer: Daniel Fey // Producer: Alex Wasserman // Production: Green Light Pictures // Director of Photography/color: Zach Cooper // Gaffer: Caleb Weiss // hmu: Stephanie Barr // wardrobe: Kassi Reyna // Talent: Samantha Bowes, Tiana Walsh, Jessica Finn // Film: Kodak LIC // scans: negativeland
Jeans paired with oversized tees, button-ups, and denim-on-denim. Talent in natural poses, light make-up, messy and loose hair. Elegance with an edge. Our team pulled from Levi’s to create stylings and aesthetics reminiscent of the 90s, evoking a sense of passion and nostalgia—16 mm film to push an overall grunge look that is serious yet playful.
The outcome? A short social spot filled with youth, energy, and sentimentality.
