Nota movie near me11/19/2023 In 1971, the home was declared a cultural historic monument and the entire 1300 block of Carroll Avenue, where the “Thriller” house is located, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property was originally a single family residence, but has since been converted into a duplex-type dwelling, and has been undergoing an extensive restoration project for the past decade. The Queen Anne/Eastlake-style home boasts 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 3,532 square feet of living space – which I was shocked to discover as the residence looks to be much smaller from the street. In real life, the property is known as the Sanders House and it was originally built in 1887! Yes, you read that right – the residence is over 123 years old! It was commissioned by a man named Michael Sanders who ran a storage warehouse in Los Angeles at the time. □ I wish the Jackson family would release it on DVD as I’d love to have a copy that wasn’t taped off of television. And I am very happy to report that over twenty-seven years later, the behind-the-scenes special is JUST as enthralling. I used to watch the “Making Of” special almost weekly as a child and was absolutely ENTRALLED with it. Especially since my dad recently transferred our VHS recording of “The Making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller” onto a DVD so that we could finally watch it again, being that neither of us has owned a working VCR in about five years time. Even though I’ve actually already blogged about this location once before (way back in December of 2007 when I first started my site!), because I mixed it in with a post about Halliwell Manor from Charmed which is located on the same street, I thought it was about time that the “Thriller” house was given proper recognition with its very own post. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.Today, in honor of Halloween, I thought I’d blog about what is arguably the most famous haunted house of all time – the Victorian-style residence that was featured in the 1983 music video “Michael Jackson’s Thriller”. Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither flesh nor fleshless Neither from nor towards at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. “At the still point of the turning world. My Dad is 31 or 32, a little younger than I am now. A photograph of my dad and of me-the starting point for this project-each a single shot because photos of us both are in short supply in that pre-selfie era. Photos, videos-records of different types-are enclosed in the film and so it felt appropriate to enclose one here. This film is unmistakably fiction, but within it is a truth that is mine a love that is mine. The essence of what I have to say about that is held within the 145,440 frames on screen. Most films are, of course, but this film more than even those most. To make it was a privilege I never took for granted, much like the opportunity to share it with you now.īefore I sign off, the elephant on the page is the degree to which Aftersun is a personal film. Collaboration is what makes filmmaking so special and through collaborating, the process of making this film gave me the clearest sense of purpose and joy. They elevated the words from the page and the pride and gratitude I feel for their work is immense. It was made by the combined efforts and talents of many people among whom are some of my closest creative collaborators and friends. What I will say is that Aftersun is not mine alone. I hope you can take it, fill it, in order to feel it. And there is room for you in this film too. It accumulates to a feeling which I found myself best able to express through the language of cinema (“ch-inema”) and not in words or by any other means. It’s best experienced without context, without having seen our gorgeous trailer, and with patience and an open mind. Truthfully, I don’t want to say too much more about it. A memory of intimacy from a point of distance. It is told-subtly-through the point of view of the daughter, Sophie, as an adult 20 or so years later. Aftersun is about a young 30-year-old father and his 11-year-old daughter on holiday at a resort in Turkey in the late 1990s.
