Glass (dir. Sania Bhatia) thumbnail

Glass (dir. Sania Bhatia)

Glass is one of those projects I sat on for too long. This process taught me these truths: Less is more, more is also more; To cut with my gut; The historical separation between the arts and the sciences induces a deep rooted fear of technology, merge and escape; 80% of your footage gets disposed, use it to create new work; All creativity requires vulnerability, show everything. Inspired by Kirsten Johnson. Shot, edited, and all original music by Sania Bhatia. Special thanks and appearances: shevaun mizrahi, rodrigo apiolaza, andy french, pranav mittal, talia iarussi, amanda mickwee, lexi clark, jamie walker, alyssa coffey, willow roen, sweet spine.

Downside Into My Skin

“Into My Skin.” Directed by Oliver Hudd (@fortbraggmagazine). Shot by Sania Bhatia (@saniabhatiaa) on Sony A7III and Ruben Preciado (@torquerzine) on Hi-8 Handycam. All archival footage shot by Ruben Preciado on Hi-8 Handycam. Edited by Sania Bhatia and Oliver Hudd. Colour graded by Sania Bhatia. Featuring: Downside and friends. Filmed entirely at Descontrol Punk Shop and other locations. Intro song taken from Asocial’s “How Could Hardcore Be Any Worse” (1982) LP/CS. “Shout out The Winos, Chooch from The Crudes, Renegade Soul, Descontrol Punk Shop, ADX Studios, Memo, and all the carnales and carnalas that participated in the making of this video.” - Downside. “Into My Skin” originally released in 2019 on “Something’s Off,” full album (cass), recorded by Memo. I couldn’t have been more grateful to direct my first video for a hardcore punk band, let alone it be a band I had been a fan of since I was 17 years old. Big up to the mate Ruben for the connection and hard shots, Sania for being the best DP, Boogs, Chando, Justin, Speedy and everyone else I forgot to mention for having patience with me during this shoot.
