"ALL WHO ARE WEARY" (2019) - Written/Directed by: Jayson Johnson
Starring: Mekhala Chatterjee, Mick Hodder
Director's Statement: "All Who Are Weary" was a project born out of necessity and creativity. It had been a year since we made "Lifeline," and we were itching to get back to filmmaking. However, with practically no budget, we knew we had to approach this project differently. We decided to reverse engineer the film, starting with what we had—a location I loved, the Albany Bulb. This place, with its unique and intriguing sculptures, seemed like the perfect backdrop for our story.
With the location secured, we brought in a couple of actors and developed a concept centered around a couple at odds, each grappling with their own unique flaws. The story builds to a climax at one of the statues, using the art around us as a metaphor for the characters' internal struggles. Despite the financial constraints, "All Who Are Weary" became a film that challenged us to think creatively and reminded us that sometimes the best stories come from working with what you have.
