Filmmaker Sebastian Sommer premiered his debut short at the Tribeca Film Festival this past Spring, and now he is in post on his first feature. Titled Melt the Wings, he described it to me in an email as a mixture of surrealism and mumblecore. The teaser is posted below, along with a director’s statement. Check it out.
Melt the Wings is a feature film that was born out of disassociation with our everyday rituals. Look at your life and think hard about all of the little traditions you go through on a daily basis. People celebrate the day they were born…every year. One has certain times and dates for the consumption of food and drink. And that’s just touching upon the most basic of customs. There is no way to escape it because they get intimate. You are born into a world of ordinance that you must live by.
