Brookline Tab: "Brookline filmmakers preserve image of Utah park before jerks ruined it "

Color Theory was written about in a recent Brookline Tab blog post. Thanks to great writers Erin Clossey and Ignacio Laguardia at this publication! 

"Brookline filmmakers Minhae Shim and Daniel Roth decided to set the climax of their experimental short film, 'Color Theory,' in Goblin Valley State Park in Utah...'Goblin Valley inspired us as filmmakers because it was a beautiful, surreal place with personality and feeling,' said the filmmakers, who are squeezes in real life...Emphasis on the “was,” because recently, two...Boy Scout leaders were recorded pushing over one of the 170-million-year-old boulders, then guffawing about how awesome that was." - Erin Clossey, Brookline Tab

The Motherhood Archives: Screening at the Schlesinger Library (Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University)

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of viewing Irene Lusztig's latest film, The Motherhood Archives. I worked on this film while it was still in production in Cambridge during Irene's fellowship at the Radcliffe Institute. The film was the first in a series curated by the Schlesinger Library, "Cliffe Connections: Films by Radcliffe Grads and Fellows," which is free and open to the public.

Here is a description of the film: "Archival montage, science fiction, and an homage to 70s feminist filmmaking are woven together to excavate hidden histories of childbirth in the twentieth century. Assembling an archive of over 100 educational, industrial, and medical training films, The Motherhood Archives inventively untangles the complex, sometimes surprising genealogies of maternal education...Revealing a world of intensive training, rehearsal, and performative preparation for the unknown that is ultimately incommensurate with experience, The Motherhood Archives becomes a meditation on the maternal body as a site of institutional control, ideological surveillance, medical knowledge, and nationalist state intervention."

COLOR THEORY: Finalist in "Short Waves"

Our short film, COLOR THEORY, has been selected as a finalist in Short Waves, the shorts program for the Boston Asian American Film Festival! Please WATCH and VOTE for our experimental road trip film! 

Here's the synopsis: 

COLOR THEORY (Minhae Shim & Danny Roth, 2013) is an experimental short film that weaves together concepts of memory, visuality, and racial identity through the lens of one couple’s relationship. The film emerges from a 33-day cross-country road trip through the United States, and subsequent aftermath of reconstructing the experience. The film combines travel footage and stills, archival footage, and performed scenes. COLOR THEORY is a “stream of consciousness film” that explores the relationships that people have with one another, with their country, and with their own psychological processes.

Thanks so much for the support! We really believe in our vision for the film!
