An elegy for my Jamaican Grandfather who lived for 98 years. Culled from hand-processed super-8 memories and kodachrome images of the heavens, family photographs and an audio recording of his sweet voice discussing the secret of his long, healthy life, the film bids goodbye to an amazing soul.
Commissioned as part of the Minute Movies program at the Images Festival.
