Shooting GERRY (with Gus Van Sant & Harris Savides)

"I’m pround of the structure, the mise-en-scène and the way a lot of it works without dialogue. If you can show it without saying it, that’s pure filmmaking, and this film is that attitude on steroids."
Harris Savides, ASC

"Salt Lake Van Sant" is a terrific fly-on-the-wall featurette, showcasing a day of life on the "Gerry" set, which happens to involve travel on salt flats. Imagery includes an endless amount of dolly track and various crew members speeding around on golf carts, while Van Sant, cinematographer Harris Savides, and actors Casey Affleck and Matt Damon figure out what they're going to do for certain shots.
