Luciana Faulhaber Instagram – We lost our @sirmumsila a bit over a year ago. muMs came into my life in the biggest transition time and left the same way. And he really made the in between count. He shined a different light on tough issues and always had the right words to say. @jenniewest.work reminded me that he is still here in his work and in our memories.
This film came from wishing that those we love would never leave us but when they do, how do we go about everyday life? I’ve struggled with grief all my life and art has been the only life raft I’ve know.
I’M HERE was written and directed by me using only @sirmumsila poetry for his character words. He was one of a kind. A blend of poetry, music, theater and so much more.
Thank you @riccoross for such a beautiful interpretation. Thank you @bonafideblack for putting us together. Thank you @jenniewest.work for encouraging me and helping me get permission to use his poetry. Thank you @benfmeredith @suzanjonesphoto @cam_sook @keltonjonesofficial for jumping in on a day off to help make this happen. Thank you @jonah_blaser for helping from Canada to mix our sound. Thank you to #bulletshields for creating this amazing 10 min poetry song from an idea. I still owe you babysitting services. And thank you to @madebywe for the introduction. This has been a team effort and I am floored by these amazing people who showed up for me.
I’M HERE is now being submitted to festivals and updates will be coming soon.
