Sanded, shot entirely on Super 16mm film, is an incredibly beautiful short from Tar Productions showcasing the birth of a surfboard. The imagery, music and editing fulfill the experience of this inanimate object coming to life in an almost church-like setting. The sound of the sanding at some points even made the hair on my arms stand up and sent a tingle up my spine, simply brilliant.

Backstory:
“It was shot on one 400′ roll of film. I had the extra film from another shoot that I didn’t want to go to waste so I called up Chemistry and was there about an hour later just following them around. No help, just me and the camera. Shot on Super 16mm.” – Tim Ryan
