Director’s note

Twenty-two minutes of piano music in seven pieces, in 30-second and 1:30 formats. The director was looking for a “playful” piano; Green Points goes the other way, slower and darker, to prepare what the two men’s relationship is about to reveal.

Green Points

A darker piece, looking for a sense of slowness and gentle melancholy. It prepares what the tormented relationship of the two men is about to reveal.
