I came across this series of short films today. Each one is touching, beautifully shot, and carefully crafted.
'Byun' features music from Kate Simko and Julian Lynch; 'Coffer', music from Michael Hurley and Marisa Anderson; and 'Prime', (a gentle and poignant portrait of a Manhattan burger joint), the music of Johnny Tillotson, The Staple Singers, Spiritual Singers, and Mask Man & The Agents.
In 'Prime' in particular, the sound design delicately matches the considered visuals, but throughout the three films an attention to mood-enhancement and intricate sound details is strongly evident.
There's no place like home. It's where we live, work and dream. It's our sanctuary and our refuge. We can love them or hate them. It can be just for the night or for the rest of our lives. But whoever we may be, we all have a place we call home.
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is a series of short films that explore the idea of home; what makes them, how they represent us, why we need them.
Produced and directed by Ben Wu and David Usui, of Lost & Found Films.

Hello Dom, I was wondering if your friend Steve Clegg was the same Steve Clegg who was my friend and fellow musician. He was an incredible guitarist. He had a vision problem and looked like Jimmy Page. Lived in Redhill Surrey. Is it the same? I left the UK and relocated to the USA. Tried to get in touch with him. Would love to hear from you if it is the same Steve. Regards, Sid Your name is really familiar to me as well!
Hi Sid. Yup - it sounds like the same Steve! :0) Did we work together in Redhill - at SoundScape? Best way to get in touch is by email - e m a i l [at] d o m b o u c h e r [dot] c o m
