The Gardener (2017)

The Gardener is a documentary about the creative process of a pianist and composer, Julien Brocal. Beginning with a discussion about his improvisational collaboration with the composition, "Reflections", it soon becomes a conversation about the creative process in our society. The film lingers on the audio of the interview, cutting very little of his original dialogue so as to keep a continuous logic to his thought process. By holding on his thoughts, it allows us to connect with him as he searches for the words to describe his inner emotions. Won Best Documentary at the Fine Arts Film Festival in Venice, CA.
