FOG (spring 2024)
a film by Tim de Vries & Ties Versteegh
Logline Face your inner child to defeat your shadows In short This poetic ultra-short film is inspired on the song “Fog (again) Live” by Radiohead. My hope is that this film serves as a catalyst, sparking introspection and dialogue within yourself. Is there a conversation you need to have with your younger self? Perhaps there’s a lingering wound in need of healing, or a voice within you that’s yearning to be heard? Take a look; it’s like your best friend conveying a beautiful message, paving the way for lives lived in harmony side by side. When I was around 20 years old, this song captivated me. Its melodies weaving a vivid tapestry in my mind. I found myself immersed in a haunting vision: a young boy sprinting through an endless tunnel, his footsteps splashing in the water and echoing against the cold walls. Close behind him, children of his own age pursued, hurling rocks in a relentless chase. As the tunnel stretched on, it culminated in a deep waterfall cascading into a sky so luminous it was almost blinding. This poignant imagery lingered with me, its melancholy presence refusing to fade. I felt a compelling urge to translate this vision into film, but first, I needed to decipher the story it was trying to tell me. In 2023, I penned down the narrative, and this is the result. I am immensely proud of this project and deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this film a reality.
