SHADOWS OF MUSTANG
The Brief

A high-altitude passage into the walled kingdom of Lo Manthang, where the wind writes faster than memory.

Three weeks above the tree line with a crew of four. No artificial light, no second takes with the elders. Only patience, altitude and the discipline to wait for the frame to arrive on its own.

The film moves at the pace of the plateau: long static wides, breath audible in the mix, and a grade that keeps the dust in the air. What remains is a portrait of a kingdom that measures time in centuries, not seasons.
