The Hearsee Project
Every month I pick a theme and create a short series of short films based around it. They could be anything from Poetry to Potpourri, but all made with the goal of furhter exploring a current interest of mine, and sharing that with you.
Here is the full collection of them so far, newest to oldest. Hope you enjoy!
February 2025 - Norman MacCaig.Â
I moved over to scotland at the start of the year, and prompted by that move I asked a friend of mine for some scottish poet recommendations. Their response was an Edinburgh-based man called Norman MacCaig, a poet I had never even remotely heard of, but one who proceeded to shock me with the electric brilliance of his work.
The videos in this one are visualisers of Normans poems, aided by the wonderful reading performances provided by Thomas Kerr and Gracie Davie.
January 2025 - Covers
To kick the project off, I wanted to look back on the year before and perform some of the songs that I had fallen in love with during those 12 months.
These were all filmed during an interesting time in Glasgow for weather, beginning the year in -7 degree weather, and storm Eowyn ripping through the UK. All those relentless natural phenomena paired with a relentless DIY approach made for a curiously creative buzz behind the camera.
