RETROSPECTION (2020)
"our world is such a beautiful place - and when things begin to falter and melt
and crack and bend, through uncertain moments, nature reclaims that beauty - every single time."
based on the poem “broken pylons”, written by myself, RETROSPECTION is not only a portrait exhibiting a stark contrast between now and then; between words and pictures - above all else, this is a thankyou to the individuals who took their time to shape my story. This picture is available to view for free on VIMEO.

"I can’t come back, but if you could see the view of Earth from up here, you wouldn’t want to either.”
Written & Directed by Matthew W.F. Senior, 'william.' is a non-fictional eulogy film capturing the essence of his grandfather's life. This project sees William Henry Senior looking back at his life, and understanding how the world has changed around him.
Originally based on Senior's poem 'Home of Cold Rock', this project evolved into becoming a "living photograph" so that William can be immortalised forever in the world of film. This is a very personal film, depicting William Senior as accurately as possible - from mannerisms, music choices and dialogue, to events depicted, hobbies, photographs and memories.
From executive producer Daniel Lyle (The Boy Who Commits a Murder), this picture is free to view on VIMEO. It also has a physical BLU-RAY release.

"trapped in this moment. forever,"
'goya' is a poetic-experimental short film, which Matthew W.F. Senior began creating at the age of nine. Released as a social experiment to merge the boundaries between reality and fiction - between film and every day life - this film was the metaphorical end to "Matt Senior" - the billing credit, the mental state, the emotional ties, the associations - allowing him to fully transition into the "Matthew W.F. Senior" persona. This picture is available to view for free on VIMEO.

" forever falling; forever still "... Stranded on an island, Gabriel is losing his mind.
Although mostly fiction, 'free' is the projection of Senior's former mental state, and was created as a form of emotional therapy. Therefore, this is quite a personal project to him. He describes it as "beautiful, disjointed poetry" and "a window into his former depressive state". The film is also a spiritual prelude to Senior's short film, 'goya'. It is available to view for free on VIMEO, and as a bonus feature on the BLU-RAY release of 'william.'
