Director Statement
Covid Bach, as the title indicates, was done during this isolation time in the Covid 19 pandemic.The film was done without access to outside resources and was shot on a webcam.Normally, I have it shot on professional equipment and work with a cameraperson and editor. This is not possible to do as it would mean contact with someone outside my bubble and travel to Toronto from my home in cottage country Ontario. This rather less polished result has become part of the reality. The Well Tempered Clavier by Bach was the inspiration particularly as it is interpreted by Andras Schiff.
