Experiencing Interruptions?

KINGS (2019)

Birds flying. Song of praise with hope in background, my human voice and a very old native ironwood hand hewn drum that I used to have when I was a young girl that somehow re-appeared in a nearby store so I bought it for $50. I used it when I was youth. The birds are big Kingfishers, many of them. There is a voice in the film that sounds as if it is a second human, but it is really a bird calling and the waveform is affected by the environment and angles of refraction. The bird call was recorded with the original film footage. This is a AIKIDO film with Shaker influence from memory. This film was re-rolled in 2020.
