Connor Gatesman writes emotionally packed shorts and songs that inevitably lend their lens towards heartbreak. Westerns, Columbia noir, and the hyper-stylized films of mid-century Japan inform much of his artistic direction. When it comes to music, he sings and strums the six string, but can spin wax if duty calls.
Looking through one's past can often leave the searcher even more befuddled than before. This short seeks to emulate the morose kind of confusion that can accompany the lilting memory of a romance gone awry.
