Minimalist Extremism + Transcendental Humanism

By: Nathan Earl

Through working to express that even the minutest moments are sacred;
With visual techniques which stress impressions of realism at all costs, life as it goes…
Emotions laid bare, in real time
These directors’ works are akin…

By taking cinematic minimalism to an utmost;
By providing characters & moments so human they transcend the experience of the film itself;
By giving us films with a genuine sense of synergy.

Extreme Minimalism,
Transcendent Humanity.
