THE DISTRACTION
Directed by Matty Brown

Excerpt: “Matty Brown in an unmatched ability– though that hasn’t stopped his many copy cats over the years. In a 2015 review of his auto-biographical short, A Colorful Life, Ivan Kander called him a “Vimeo rockstar”, as well as much more so than his record 18 Staff Picks, it was as a result of his story. Brown is a true personification of the splendor days of the platform’s innovative area, an enthusiast unconnected from the market who made earnest, psychological work that took complete advantage of the democratization that DSLRs and also powerful computer systems provided to image-making. With a true DiY spirit he mastered a hallmark design: quick cuts, rapid cam whips, as well as smart use foreground elements (commonly just his fingers over the lens) to create a feeling of constant movement– a visceral thrill that offered energy to his traveling videos, tone poems, as well as easy account docudramas. His approach was hugely popular, spawning ratings of homages, and also finest of all? his methods barely called for any type of budget.
Brown is looking for the following chapter currently. His Vimeo appeal permitted him to drop the enthusiast classification some years back and he’s currently produced acclaimed work for lots of leading brand names. While Brown is working towards even more standard pens of success, the old spirit continues to be, and this no-budget interest job launched online last week is, to me, the most fascinating and also clearest instance of Brown’s narration development.
Titled The Distraction, this 10 minute movie starts off with the above quote from scary tale Stephen King and a scary monitoring shot takes us to a tv set. A standard tv-clip montage about depression plays. It takes 90 secs to get to a title card, as well as after that bam!
Amazing possibly is the wrong word nonetheless. It is a movie concerning stress and anxiety and clinical depression after all. Concerning recognizing it, recording it, and also trying to convert it. An initiative to distill these horrific feelings right into a sensory experience so that Brown might represent it as well as share it. So that we may find out from each various other. So that we might not really feel so alone.
Brown is fairly open concerning his difficult life experiences. In writing us, Brown clarifies the extremely personal ideas for the item, relating, “My whole life I’ve lived with debilitating Anxiety as well as Depression. I located several diversions over the years, but no issue how tough I work or exactly how far I travel it’s always come back much heavier as well as more powerful than ever.
