STRAY DOG - a bertie gilbert film (2013)

STRAY DOG - a film by bertie gilbert (2013) *At the time of writing this, we made this film nearly six years ago. I was 16. Since then, I've grappled with my decision to incorporate Charles Manson's music. As you get older, you develop a more complex understanding of art and the circumstances in which some art was made. I had very little knowledge of who Charles Manson was at the time, a friend simply played some of the tracks and I liked how they sounded. This perhaps opens up a bigger conversation regarding separating art from the artist, but nonetheless this decision makes me pretty uncomfortable now. I'll keep this film up as it serves as a nice time capsule and I'm overall still quite proud of it, but in hindsight the music would've been sourced from somewhere else, literally anywhere else. I simply didn't give it much thought at the time. Comes with age I guess. Goes without saying, I don't endorse Charles Manson. Duh. Well, here it is! My first short film thingy. It's been a long ride. I hope you enjoy this film and won't be too hard on me (cos it's my first one innit).
