moments of harmony korine

the young & abstract, avante garde director was born in the South & has made such films as: Gummo, Julien Donkey Boy, Mister Lonely, and Trash Humpers.  Korine wrote the scripts for both Kids& Ken Park (which were directed by Larry Clark).  His work is distinct & unconventional, focusing more on abstract moments than linear storytelling.  His films create a mood, sometimes disturbing but always compelling.

below are three videos of the director on letterman where he ponders the futility of narrative storytelling and disregards the need for linear plot or thoughts; along with a few other interviews of him that I just liked.

after the  interview videos, i share short form video works that were written & directed by him (two of which commissioned by couture fashion houses).

"if you want to see something, you make it.  first & foremost for yourself & your friends.  i think if everyone else was doing it, i wouldn't want to...as long as i keep doing what i want to do, creating the images that i have in my head; i think then i'll be alright." - Harmony Korine
