RSA Films’ BAFTA-nominated director and cinematographer Mark Nunneley has pulled focus on the issue of poor eyesight.
His beautiful short, Focus on Life, is an impressionist masterpiece capturing idiosyncratic life memories of those who struggle with blurred vision.
With a decidedly watery theme and a lush marine sound effects from Bark Soho, the film evokes the sensuality of half-perceived images and features poetic reminiscences of clambering over coastal rocks, being mesmerised by rivers – a son recalls his fisherman father who captured conger eels and cod.
Nunnely comments: “Lockdown gave me the opportunity to reflect on how to approach this project, and how to capture this out-of-focus world. Sight and focus are crucial for me to tell stories as a filmmaker, from the creative to the direction and cinematography.
“I hope that our simple, life-affirming message will connect with the viewer as we invite them to pause and reflect on their own lives and the importance of focus.”
The film was commissioned as part of a public awareness campaign, after research revealed that 66 per cent of the population admit to having difficulty with blurred vision, with one in ten choosing to sit closer to the TV rather than having their eyes tested!
