A short promo vid for the Morart Festival channel about my methods. Filmed in my Psychedelic Shack - purpose-built shack for editing and filming. A haven. A dream realised. A cave. Isolate, focus, pretend.
Digital kit lets a film-maker do this... the first time in history.
Two couples have double-booked a weekend cottage - and when a therapist uses changework techniques to cure anxiety, the ex-military boyfriend is not best pleased.
Mental health is on more and more people's agenda - but what do we really know? This film includes techniques from the world of changework therapy, previously unseen in cinema.
Filmed & recorded with no crew over the course of the weekend, this improvised changework drama brings new techniques and ideas to how cinema - and mental health - can be. By removing a crew there is only one "system" operating in the room - artists working together.
Not sure of the title - because our brains do not do negatives. Think of a pink elephant - what are you doing now? Think of working without a film crew? What are you thinking of now.
Digital tech is amazing. Plus cheap Chinese engineering for the mics. We can now make a film by ourselves. I made Under the Weather partly as a test - is it possible to work alone with the cast? Yes it is. And that brings lovely artistic potentials.
Changework Therapy
is a catch-all term for a range of recently focussed approaches. Some of these go back some way into the annals of therapeutic ideas whilst others are new discoveries, being backed by increasing neuroscience discoveries.
It is not counselling - talking about it. Sometimes that helps of course, and many counsellors use changework techniques alongside. The essential element of Changework Therapy is... change. Let's change the thing that is happening so you don't feel that bad thing anymore. Now you are flexible to choose how you want to behave, or what you think about something. Your brain is back on your side - often in one session.
And not how counselling brings understanding. Because understanding our histories does not stop the unwanted behaviour or feelings. Some of us know spiders will not hurt us - yet jump and scream! Others know that the war is over - yet tremble and stress. Changework Therapy is superb at these stuck states and is used all over the world.
Under the Weather is perhaps the first movie to introduce these amazing approaches to a wider public.
Under the Weather also opens up discussions for the therapeutic communities - how should we share what we have learnt to do? What do we get about being a person that is not culturally known? How does that affect our relationships?
