The Stitches That Never Were

This short was the result of a macro film, by the amazing Philip Bloom, Richard Wilson showed me. After a couple of hours digging through my loft, I uncovered a sewing machine. It was decrepit and forgotten. Once the everyday tool of a young maiden (my great Grandma), stitching her way through the early 20th century. The appeal of the machine was that it was obvious that it used to be a thing of beauty. However over the years the spiders webs and rust had taken its toll. And so I restored it, like a nun restoring the Mother Superior's knitting needles. Anyway, the main reason I chose this object was not just it's beauty. It was also the fact that this object was forgotten. I felt so happy to have brought it back and I really hope you enjoy this short. And remember, always shoot twice when getting rid of your pantomime cow cast.
