DEADWOOD ”RECOLLECTION” A timeless journey through fragments of the past. A film for Deadwood, a Swedish fashion brand focusing on manufacturing clothes made from recycled leather. Shot on 16mm. For this film I really wanted to highlight the timelessness of Deadwoods clothing and the use of leather as material for clothing in general. I wanted to create a film that have the feeling that it could have been shot in the 50s as well as today. I also wanted to highlight the Swedish heritage of Deadwood and therefore work with the Swedish countryside as our canvas.
