I have been waiting a while for this trailer. I am really excited for this movie. I love this book a lot. It’s one of my favorites.
I love the whole look of the film. It looks very extravegant but that’s Gatsby’s appeal: Extravagance! Leo DiCaprio is a perfect choice for this film by the way. Also love Watch The Throne being played.
“We Found Ourselves Lost” was inspired by an emotional journey, and the artwork by a friend of mine, Pierre Botardo.
It’s a story about finding love, and losing yourself in the process. It’s exhilarating, it’s frightening, it’s confusing, and just plain beautiful in all of its complexity.
Technically though, there isn’t much complexity to this mixtape. All of these songs mean a lot to me and tell a story, and I didn’t want to lose any of that by cutting the songs up or leaving verses out. It’s a simple thread of sound, but texturally rich…a collage like the ones Pierre makes. It’s not perfect by any means, but love isn’t perfect.
There’s a lot of me in this, it might not make any sense. I even sing on it at one point. I made this for me as a way to clear my head and my heart, but maybe you’ll like it too.
Keep loving,
