Jonathan Kelsey gets High

In a collaborative effort, shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey has joined forces with the creative talents of writer Gregory De Roeck and director Sara Dunlop to create a short film inspired by Kelsey’s A/W 09 collection. The film, entitled ‘High’, captures the directional, edgy aesthetic of Kelsey’s designs, eschewing the traditional product heavy approach of commercials for a more obtuse angle.  The teaser features a man and a woman (Joana Preiss) coming together under the shroud of night in a passionate embrace, before cutting to a profile head shot of the woman with a blood nose, upon which the whole scene evaporates into smoke.  This haunting precursor betrays only a whim of the dark tale in the full feature- the seduction of a temptress searching for her next fix.

‘High’ launches at 6pm on Wednesday July 15 at www.showstudio.com
