CROWS ARE WHITE is an exploration of truth, faith and love, from the top of a mountain to the bottom of a sundae. “A film that abounds in lovely oddities & gently loony surprises . . .. . . Matthew Nauser, whose camerawork is astute throughout the film, knows precisely when to move in close and when to step back.”        -The Hollywood Reporter- “The film’s most luscious offering has to be its exploration of the verdant, misty environs of Mount Hiei, shinto spirits tangibly lurking in the trees like in Princess Mononoke.”     -Screen Slate- 2022, 1hr 37min, 4K SXSWCamerimageCamdenHot DocsBFI London BAM Cinema Fest FIPA                                      *Grand Prix, Best International Documentary ZagrebDox                          *Audience Award Bergen Intl.

Not all of them great, but most pretty interesting. To find out what humanity's deal is, Thomas Morton hangs out with different groups of people and gives their lives a try. <img width="2032" height="1142" width_o="2032" height_o="1142" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a4608b3612aa8157ef7781b69df6d78d8e0937cab3716d79cf05438933d037f1/Screen-Shot-2023-05-16-at-11.56.23-AM.png" data-mid="179016600" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a4608b3612aa8157ef7781b69df6d78d8e0937cab3716d79cf05438933d037f1/Screen-Shot-2023-05-16-at-11.56.23-AM.png" /> <img width="3500" height="2333" width_o="3500" height_o="2333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd267a7baa1480899c51aeb0229a4a67e24ffb1d004b97e787cc40bb164045cc/unnamed-6.jpg" data-mid="181394034" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd267a7baa1480899c51aeb0229a4a67e24ffb1d004b97e787cc40bb164045cc/unnamed-6.jpg" />                                                                                                               Origin of Sound - Couch Surfing https://matthewnauser.com/Origin-of-Sound-Couch-Surfing Mon, 05 Feb 2024 18:09:20 +0000 Matthew Nauser DOP https://matthewnauser.com/Origin-of-Sound-Couch-Surfing THE ORIGIN OF SOUND is a journey to India, an expedition of the senses, a pilgrimage to find unstruck sound. Or that was the first iteration.  An earnest labor of love that never quite had the opportunity to reach a larger audience, now revisited. I always dreamed of shooting a doc feature on 16mm like the old timers. When the opportunity arrived we aquired the last 44,000 feet of discontinued Fuji Reala 500D 16mm stock left in Fuji’s soon to be shuttered LA warehouse, about a year before they stopped producing motion picture film altogether. 1hr 55min, 16m Aaton XTRCooke Varotal 9-50mm T2.5 (Optex conversion to Super 16mm)FUJI Reala 500D <img width="4160" height="1184" width_o="4160" height_o="1184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ee81870c56f1db14c9cde5e937c4b6302245193c6df32ffe73e5ff472c8705ee/Screenshot-2023-08-16-at-12.04.13-PM.png" data-mid="203925593" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ee81870c56f1db14c9cde5e937c4b6302245193c6df32ffe73e5ff472c8705ee/Screenshot-2023-08-16-at-12.04.13-PM.png" /> <img width="4152" height="1180" width_o="4152" height_o="1180" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/71064f42f3c15fb13519dcd818d0bd45b8525a12c07547d1d802c4c62d80b436/Screenshot-2023-08-17-at-10.19.24-AM.png" data-mid="203925708" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/71064f42f3c15fb13519dcd818d0bd45b8525a12c07547d1d802c4c62d80b436/Screenshot-2023-08-17-at-10.19.24-AM.png" /> <img width="950" height="713" width_o="950" height_o="713" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca9d98fa9022c1aca550584618dea1f924195c840c794e71f6021d72be5810fa/image_6483441.JPG" data-mid="203925714" border="0" data-scale="26" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/950/i/ca9d98fa9022c1aca550584618dea1f924195c840c794e71f6021d72be5810fa/image_6483441.JPG" /> Solastalgia https://matthewnauser.com/Solastalgia Thu, 11 May 2023 17:58:27 +0000 Matthew Nauser DOP https://matthewnauser.com/Solastalgia SOLASTALGIA is a visceral, operatic recounting of the forces of climate change and human development that continue to reshape California and our collective psyche.  It’s also a dialougue between a father and son, as a filmmaker attempts to create a myth in the midst of historic drought and looming wildfire. “[Solastalgia] is the pain experienced when there is recognition that the place where one resides and that one loves is under immeadiate assault.  It is manifest in an attack on one’s sense of place, in the erosion of the sense of belonging to a partiular place and a feeling of distrerss about it’s transformation.”       -Glenn Albrecht- Work in progress -
