Boldly release short film Limbic

Limbic was shot over the course of several years, with footage gathered in Patagonia, Barbados, and Vancouver. Voice overs were captured by talent in countries including Russia, Japan, Italy, and Uganda. Musician “Perfume Genius” provided the film’s score. 

On technique, Findlay, who originates from a background in lighting design, describes one of the setups as fourty lekos in the blackbox studio, each with an iris kit to make the practical beams of light. They were aimed in criss-crossing patterns on the subject to build a swell as the film reaches its emotional peak. The setup took them nearly three days with programming of cues and meticulous focusing to get the balance right. 

Jordan Findlay is a commercial director based in Vancouver, Canada. His storytelling focus is around the act of human connection, consciousness, and highly energized emotion. His technical focus is on the use of film as a medium, the interplay between light and dark, and colour theory. Findlay seeks the beauty in the great outdoors, yet still stays attentive to the most minuscule technical details of a product, a camera, or a piece of clothing. Jordan taps into authentic human performances, as this is a critical component of his casting process. 

Findlay was born and raised in British Columbia and began creating films at a young age. He has worked in the lighting department alongside some of North America’s most highly regarded directors and DP’s on ambitious commercial and narrative projects. Findlay brings a unique mix of intuitive creative ability and technical experience to his work.
