Matthew Dear Live

The m ss ng p eces team has had a longstanding mutual lovefest with the groundbreaking music label Ghostly International (fun fact: Ghostly CEO and founder Sam Valenti was a PA on the 2010 Behind the TED Talk documentary and is a very talented card loader, among other things).

A couple of us hung out with Ghostly super talent Matthew Dear and created an immersive short film to capture the experience of preparing for his live show.

We made some conceptual rules on the day of the shoot: there was no script, we could only use sound recorded on that day, and we wanted to avoid live music cliches.

Special thanks to director Sam Fleischner for crushing it, and editor extraordinaire Robert Lopuski for contributing his visual genius.  You can see Matthew Dear's Black City European tour dates here.
