Narrow Rivers Open Seas Seventeen Sunsets Silences for A Merchant Mariner (2016)

The last time I had dinner with Peter we spoke of sunsets both sunsets we had experienced and sunsets we had filmed and of course of boats shrimp boats in particular We made a plan to share with each other all the rolls of all the sunsets wed never put into our films That was November of 2015 By June of 2016 Peter was gone We never had the chance to exchange our sunsets but in the 72 hours after his passing I composed this film made of up some of the elements about which he cared so much sea and sky water and light boats making for the horizon In memory and in celebration David Gatten
