SHORTS AND TO THE POINT: Jay Dockendorf’s THREE DEATHS Tolstoy adaptation is a classic short film as cinematic short story
“Shooting on film felt like a straightforward way to connect with the past. I think film evokes the “old world” origins of Tolstoy’s story as well as a sense of film history that I wanted to tap into. 35mm also has a deeper, more emotional feeling, I find, and I wanted to soak up the sadness of the story and performances.”
