Transmission: The Distance Between (Us) Matters was a filmmaking project conceived and run by Scott Granville, Jeremy Mayall and Dan Inglis in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The project coordinated contributing filmmakers into teams of four to make short films on the theme of the pandemic and subsequent lockdown. Accentuating the isolation of the contributors the process gave a writer 24 hours to write up to 150 words on the theme of the pandemic and its repercussions, a voice actor then had 24 hours to make an audio recording of their performance of the text, a filmmaker then had 48 hours to create images for the recording before a composer had another 48 hours to score the film. These contributors, randomly drawn from a pool, had full autonomy over their contribution and were unaware who their collaborators were until the films were complete and released. Over approximately five weeks thirty-one films were created by over fifty contributors from around the world. The films created as part of Transmission: The Distance Between (Us) Matters are available to view here. Below are the five films for which Dan Inglis contributed the image component.
