TWO SUNS & OTHER CHARACTERS / film

Lou Brett 2021

Lou Brett works at Shallal Studios as an arts facilitator, often alongside Yvonne Hingston, who comes in as an artist. Lou is also a filmmaker and has been filming Yvonne for a few months on a film project about her creative life.

In the short film, Yvonne talks about her childhood growing up on a small farm near Falmouth. Together, Lou and Yvonne are looking at how that relates to the art she makes in the studio. These memories also tie into Yvonne’s love of sketching outdoors in nature. Lou describes this film as a sketch too, saying, “We’re making the building blocks of a longer film about Yvonne’s life and art. But the film project is as much a way of reflecting and learning about ourselves as artists as it is about the end product.”
