From the wild frontier to Ancient Greece, OUR COUNTRY unearths violence in the ennobling origin myths of the West, embodied in one western family. Inspired by Sophocles’ Antigone, Annie Saunders sets off on an autobiographical journey based on recorded conversations with her outlaw brother. On this trip into their personal and collective memory, they face each other at their most primal. OUR COUNTRY excavates the past to rethink the present, recalling a time when we were young — as siblings, as a nation, as a democratic system.

Our project Santander “In Her Shoes” has been awarded two 2019 APA’S IDEAS award for Best Experiential Campaign / Branded Installation and for Best use of Tech for Good.

I am in awe at the patience, integrity and perseverance of the creative and producing teams and everyone who made this possible from the ground up. I extend my thanks and congratulations to them, and to the bravery and commitment of Santander and their team, and of course to the incredible women who generously and wholeheartedly contributed their stories to this project”

Anhedonia takes over downtown Los Angeles
“Cages” has opened in downtown LA to offer a new theatrical experience.
Here is what the internet has to say about it so far:
“From the moment you enter this building and before you even get to your seat, you’re experiencing something brand new. I think anyone, even if you’re a purist, can walk away saying, ‘That was unique.’”
“CAGES is a mind-blowing immersive rock musical which combines live actors, video characters, special effects and text, with booming bass, strobe lights, and catchy songs, which just started its limited run in downtown LA. (…) The entry lounge and bar is immersively themed with 5 rooms (library foyer, bar, tree bar, correctional room and alley), with roaming role-playing actors, and dozens of set details (look at all the props carefully!) and story elements that start to make sense after you see the show. “
A narrow alleyway awaits. Crooked little buildings all huddled together, a little too close – almost as if they are trying to get far away from something. I begin walking down the brick pathway and find an odd hole with words scratched next to it: All Lovers Shall Perish. I look through the peephole and see the shadows of two bodies, a male and a female hanging from a knotted rope above. I move on quickly, past another building, the Emotional Correctional Facility. I peek inside, into a room a little too white and a little too clean compared to the dirty alley outside. A man, dressed in all black with his face covered, waits inside next to a crooked white slab of nondescript metal in the center. Not wanting to be the next in his doctor’s chair, I keep going, past one more alley, to a cage swinging back and forth with a long-haired man trapped inside.

“Nobody shoots like that. Everyone was out of their comfort zone” – Sam Barlow on the process behind making Telling Lies
“Nobody shoots like that. That’s not how you shoot a movie or a TV show. So everyone was out of their comfort zone. Because this meant that when we called action, we had to clear the set, to essentially have 360 degrees. Because if the actor’s moving around in the space and is holding the camera, you can’t see lighting crew, you can’t have big, obvious lights that are actually physically in the space. But the cool thing was, if you were shooting this as a movie, you would have tonnes of different camera setups, you’d be spending a whole day and shooting a single scene, all the different angles. The actors wouldn’t necessarily be speaking to each other, right? They’d have stand ins and stuff. Whereas here, if we got all the way through a 10 minute scene and got something beautiful, we were done with that scene and we could move on, and suddenly you’ve shot 10 minutes of footage, which is a pretty large amount of footage to grab in one go. So it was a very different way to work, but once we kind of hit our rhythm it was a cool way to shoot.”

"Our Country" comes home to California
After touring through New York (Under the Radar - Public Theater), Sibiu (Poland) and Edinburgh (Fringe Festival - Summerhall), “Our Country” finally comes home to The Edye Stage at The Broad, Los Angeles.
More information here
Inspired by Sophocles’ Antigone and origin stories from the American frontier, Our Country is set in California’s marijuana country, our still-Wild West. Based on recorded conversations between the artist and her younger brother, this autobiographical creation is a genre-bending work, steeped in childhood memories and mythologies from Ancient Greece, recalling a time when we were young — as siblings, as a nation and as a democratic system.
"In Someone Else's Shoes" lands in the Oculus in New York
The immersive experience “In Someone Else’s Shoes” will open its doors October 3 and 4 at the Oculus in Manhattan. The campaign is driven by Santander bank in collaboration by NCADV and NNEDV to bring awareness about domestic violence.
“From the outside it looks like a “normal house,” but inside this normality is transformed into “a labyrinth, to give a type of physical experience to the public about the great difficulty in finding a way out” of these types of situations.
”We’ve created a house that starts with a series of rooms and when you move through there are certain surprising threats like doors that close and some that don’t have doorknobs. There’s no way to go back” the way you have come either, she said.
(...)
As one takes the 12-minute tour of the various rooms within the home, one hears fragments of conversations, songs and sounds, steadily immersing oneself in the experiences of women who have suffered physical violence and whose lives - just like in Saunders’ artificial house - transform themselves from the idyllic into a recurring nightmare.
”This is about building a house to raise awareness (about domestic violence) but it specifically responds to the question about why you just don’t leave, which is a question that people always pose in cases of domestic violence,” Saunders told EFE.
”
“A través de un pasillo repleto de fotos de infancia y de familia, muchas donadas por mujeres que han sobrevivido a relaciones de abuso, se entra en un dormitorio con libros, entradas de espectáculos y joyas sobre un tocador mientras por los cascos se empieza a escuchar la canción “Can’t take my eyes of you” (No puedo apartar mi mirada de ti).
Con la melodía de fondo, arrancan los testimonios de mujeres maltratadas que recuerdan con entusiasmo los primeros momentos de sus relaciones.
“Yo era como una princesa”, dice una voz; “Todo lo que quería se había vuelto realidad”, dice otra mientras se escucha la canción: “Tu eres demasiado buena para ser realidad”.
Pero poco a poco las frases van superponiéndose y dejan de ser entendibles, la música se para, la puerta de la habitación se cierra y un descubre que en la puerta no hay pomo para poder abrirla, tampoco ventana por donde escapar.
”
Endless possibilities in brilliant detective story
The Guardian Reviews "Telling Lies"
“This intimate access not only builds a believable world, it deepens the mystery where a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glimpse of a name badge becomes a vital clue to progress. It’s a testimony to the set designers and Barlow’s fastidious writing that each clip is bursting with possibilities that could be the key to unlocking a lie. ”
“This is a game in a way that an “interactive movie” can’t be. There’s too much to explore, too much to untangle, and even a working copy of Solitaire to play when your brain is fried by the latest plot twist. Telling Lies requires a deliberateness from its players that turns us from viewers to active plot participants. It’s a game that doesn’t hold your hand, and ultimately it’s down to you to decide the truth – another secret of a good mystery done well.”

First Marihuana commercial to air on Tv
Lowell Farms, leading pre-roll cannabis company in California, recently filmed the first marihuana commercial to be aired on Tv. The film was scheduled to air during this year’s Oscars but unfortunately at the last moment ABC television rejected it.
The wholesome advertisement is a celebration of legalization in California from an award-winning director Cutter Hodierne, features actress Bella Thorne, and with voice over by actress Sasha Lane.
The film pays homage to the agrarian, California-pioneer farm culture, while referencing new opportunities in the dawn of cannabis legalization by highlighting the American craftsmanship involved in creating Lowell Herb Co. products. It ends with the lighting of a cannabis pre-roll and the soft female voice-over declaring, “Legal…natural…cannabis…finally.”
