A-COLD-WALL* SPRING/SUMMER 2021 - MY BROTHER'S KEEPER

A-COLD-WALL* Presented by Samuel Ross MY BROTHER’S KEEPER A film by Samuel Ross, Pierre Debusschere, Robbie Spencer Music by AFRODEUTSCHE Poem by Wilson Oryema ACT 1 Lost in thought To practice caution Has been long lost As I charge forth Carried by the momentum Of my sustained force Some out of mind Still tarry and pray That I remained taut But my light is far from thine And this shadow is almost out of sight Time is not on our side ACT 2 Though we arrive on different days In separate chambers Though we may leave on separate days As though strangers Our journeys are aligned Such as leaves on a branch Or bones along a spine But this goes not without challenge As some will ask of us What, if any, outweighs the collective mind? I wish you the strength to carry That which you find ACT 3 That which weighs heavy on the mind Anchor our actions to the world In ways most are unable to define Some thoughts inspire some to hide Some thoughts keep us firmly planted Outstretched Extending to anything of interest In our line of sight Interlinking Only furthers the range of our light Also increasing The ways in which we shine Be careful of yours As you will leave imprints on those who follow behind Credits: Creative Director – Pierre Debusschere Stylist – Robbie Spencer Poet – Wilson Oryema Movement Director – Alexandra Green Music Designer - AFRODEUTSCHE Director of Photography – Ben Marshall Stills Photographer – Brett Dilling-Davies Casting – Marquee Miller Models – Jethro Sapon,
