Sarah Kendric’s BLISS REEL is a study in fleeting, full-bodied pleasure on film. Shot on 16mm by James Kolsby and featuring an original score “TOUCH ME” by Callie Reiff, the piece is a collection of 4 video vignettes exploring the forms pleasure can take (friendship, movement, sex…):
01 JOIN ME (0:52)
02 MOVE ME (1:00)
03 KISS ME (0:24)
04 TAKE ME (0:42)
A companion zine, designed by Edward Shaughnessy, pairs film stills with original written works and interviews, forming a portrait of how young New York creatives approach connection and passion in a disillusioned climate.
