Tokyo Dreams

Synopsis

A journey behind closed eyelids.

Tokyo Dreams is a short Zen-like film about sleeping commuters on the Tokyo subway.

Shooting without the knowledge of his subjects, director Nicholas Barker contemplates the stillness and vulnerability of his fellow passengers and wonders whether they will wake in time for their stop…

In a departure from candid filmmaking, Tokyo Dreams deploys a highly formal ‘photographic’ film style and extremely high production values.

Unmade Beds Unmade Beds

Director: Nicholas Barker

Year: 1998

Unmade Beds is a black comedy about vanity and desire in modern America. Set in the sexual jungle of the New York singles scene, two men and two women frantically pursue their impossible dreams. Equipped with ample provisions of self-delusion, misogyny, anti-semitism and homophobia, Brenda, Michael, Aimee and Mikey are on the road to heterosexual fiasco.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Barker hired a research staff who combed New York for potential characters. Their search led them deep into the New York singles scene. They attended singles events, played the personals, and ran ads in the back page of the New York Press. Disguised as singles on the prowl, they canvassed bars and cafes in Manhattan's diverse neigh-bourhoods, until they found the 'cast'.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Employing his unique brand of 'real-fiction' Barker then directed his 'cast' under feature film conditions during the summer, fall and winter of 1996-97. During this period he wrote and rewrote his script in response to the unfolding events in their lives. 'I'd say 90% of the script was based on the actual behaviour and language of the four principal characters' says Barker. 'The rest is a pack of lies'.
