I have been making film portraits of my favorite artists for a while now and Guy Maddin was on the top of the list, but he told me he would rather die than having his face filmed...so I opted for his hands! Two years later I received an unexpected package with a super 8. "do what you want with it Marie. they are yours. A million apologies for taking two years to get this to you. It took me five minutes to do!". My dream came true, so I decided to make a short film around the story of these fabulous hands and that is how I came with the idea of giving birth to them... "Marie, that shot of the hands coming out o' your womb is a dilly!!! What an honour to be born of you!
your son,
guy
