I am not entirely sure how to define this work. I guess you

can call it an experimental documentary. My Great

Grandfather, Grandfather, filmed my family’s lineage and

their travels from the turn of the 19th century to the 1970s.

My father then continued this effort by filming my

childhood. My grandparents past away 4 years ago

and throughout my college years not being able to

be there during their final years bothered me. It was

three years after their death that I discovered the

footage. The footage was around 6 hours

long and not only captured my grandfather and father’s

childhood and upbringing but also their travels

around the world. What I thought was a lineage of

danish businessmen turned out to be artists who gave up

their dreams to conform to the times and obligations

they had. Growing up my grandfather would always talk

to me about his travels and now to have this form of

context to his life is an extreme privilege. It only

made sense to do something with and carry this film

onward. My grandparents, especially my grandfather,

were why I pursued anything creative in the first

place. Every drawing I made as a child he kept in a

frame. One of the few regrets I live with to this day

would be that I didn’t give him enough drawings to

frame. This is only a rough cut.
