Sean plans to create a series of short 16-millimeter films around the concept of “Working From Home”. The works will each be a single in-camera shot, using the full duration of a 100ft spool of 16-millimeter black-and-white film. Within these structural parameters, the content of the film will be slice of life imagery from the neighborhood of Carroll Gardens.
