Debut film weaving memories of the dark from the filmmaker’s childhood and adult life, with the short-lived history of the 19th century’s once ubiquitous Moonlight Tower. Waiting Up To Meet The Wolf examines how these towers helped shape attitudes towards darkness and what consequences that means for our future. Shot on 16mm and hand-processed using experimental eco-reversal techniques which directly reflect the subject matter, from developing in charcoal to flashing with light from car headlights, the film owes its very existence to that which it laments; the presence of unwanted light.
