Rod Gailes OBC sat with Shadow & Act for an in-depth conversation about "Soft Focus" and his personal approach to filmmaking.
Is there are common thread that runs through your work? With this retrospective happening this week, after audiences see your body of work, will they be able to readily identify any themes, patterns, ideas, etc?
"At the core of my work, I am almost always dealing with the notion of “Life” and “Choice”. I believe life is God's greatest gift to us, Choice being the second. Examining those gifts and how people manage the consequences of their actions is a recurring theme in my work on stage, screen, and in lyrics. But as I previewed the retrospective films last week during the projection tests, I was struck by how recurring the sexual themes were over time. I think it was a rebellion to the success of my more family oriented first film, “Twin Cousins”. It was never my deliberate intention to create a “sexy” body of work. But as Britney sang, “Oops, I did it again.” I looked up and here was “Soft Focus” bringing sexuality and spirituality into a cinematic butting of heads." Rod Gails OBC, Shadow and Act Interview 2012
