ENY LEE PARKER SHORTS SERIES (2021)
DIR. COUNCIL BRANDON
WRITTEN BY ANNIE NING, IYANAH BATIVALA, COUNCIL BRANDON
A series of shorts created in collaboration with Eny Lee Parker Studio.
We love objects that have personality, that feel like another creature or being that’s with you in the room. This has felt especially relevant during the past year, as so many people are quarantined at home, along with the objects they choose to surround themselves with. As soon as we saw Eny Lee Parker’s furniture and lighting pieces, we imagined them as characters with their own thoughts, feelings, and private lives. We wanted to create a world around them, and put them in situations — of misunderstanding, romantic longing, and social competition — that are common in this current age of disconnect. We hope this series makes you laugh, smile, and maybe even feel a spark of connection with that lamp in the corner of the room.
