Realm - Directed by Jeff Elstone
Realm is a fashion film and fashion shoot written few months ago by Madeleine N., art director and production designer of Black Madeleine Studio , based in Sardinia and Florence and by NY based photographer and filmmaker Jeff P. Elstone.
It's a project that involves photographers, filmmakers, professional theatre actors, costume designers, scenographers, models and musicians. Jarboe, singer from legendary band SWANS, and prolific solo artist has signed the original music of the video trailer. It's the story of a royal family from the ancient world, possibly the Nuragics (pre historical sardinian civilization), with an atmoshpere that recalls of Shakespeare's King Lear. The protagonist is a feminine deity, precisely a priestess that embodies this deity, the Mater Matuta , goddess of dawn, or the even older Great Mother, worshiped by the Nuragics and traceable in most of the mediterrean ancient civilizations.
