Abstract
Something has happened to set Tim Andrews on a different path. Formerly a lawyer, he has dedicated himself to portrait photography, having been photographed by over 240 artists for his 'Over The Hill' project. Deviating from photography, I pitched an idea for a short film, which he accepted and we built upon collaboratively. This film offers a symbolic exploration of Tim's identity; sharing his vulnerability, humanity, transformation and eventual liberation, part of his process of a philosophical approach to Parkinson's Disease. Tim expresses and in his own way liberates himself from the pressures that come with being a 'grown up', which cloud the connectedness with the world we felt as children. In a playful way 'Nothing Matters Everything Matters' asks, is there a little of the spirit of a liberated dancer in all of us?
