Nash Edgerton

Despite what people says I believe I’m some kind of freak non-fashionable and non-sociable guy. Then I wonder why. Why do I consider myself such a thang? Then I look for an answer to excuse my misanthropic habits, at least those ones I’m used to adopt, while staying in my mythological Island of Chiloé.
Seeking the mentioned excuse I must admit that if there’s something that sucks my brain dry, that shit is the net. Therefore, I kinda believe the existence of the net is the reason of my isolation. Then, my conclusion is that the net sucks. Nevertheless, I must also admit that I love the net; therefore, I have nothing else to do but to accept and tolerate the isolation triggered off by such virtual addiction. What's the big deal with paradoxes? The deal is in getting to understand how they work, and make the right choice, or at least accept your choice witouh regrets. How do I do it then? "I do it by understanding the second as consequence of the first" I accept the pros and contras of everything. I do respect the terms and I dispose myself to them, with joy.

Now, what is that suppose to mean? Spread your “ears” and wide your mind. Allow me to say this: it is part of our nature to be inconsequent, it is normal to break our own rules and principles, as we grow and learn new things, as we feel and acquire new experiences. Paradoxes are part of our so-called “nature”. So feel free, at the time of being judge, to yell and fuck up those who accuse you of betray, for we’re free to change our minds. On the other side, if there’s one only point in which our mind cannot be move, that is when we mature, but just there we die. I don't know if that make sense to you, but it make sense to me, and should make sense to everyone, someday soon. Now, let’s turn to the important point.
Well, it might look like my introductions were just out place, but believe me they are not. In fact, they’re very connected to the very core of every presentation here performed, so watch out what you’re reading.

This fourth post will be about Nash Edgerton. Who’s this buddy? Is he brother of Joel Edgerton? Do they perform for Blue Tongue Films? Please select “yes to all”.

Nash Edgerton was born in Australia, January the nineteenth, 1973. Nash Edgerton is the brother of Joel Edgerton, who played "Owen Lars" in "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones"(wow!). In plain words, Nash is not human, I mean, he’s not only a cinema director, but also an actor. As a matter fact, he appeared in Matrix Reloaded and Moulin Rouge. Nevertheless, in what he really shines is on his performances as a “stunt performer” in films like Superman Returns, Dark City, Thin Red Line, Mission: Impossible 2 and the recent Star Wars Sagas. Apart from that, Nash is also an accomplished editor, camera man, writer and producer. In keeping with this, in 2005 he produced the film called “The Magician” directed by Scott Ryan, which was selected to screen at the 2005 Sidney Film festival.

His career as director has been very profitable since his short film “DeadLine”, which won the top prize at Tropfest in 1997. Since then, Edgerton has collaborated in many projects from directing musical video clips to commercial videos for different known brands. On the other side, his closest relation seems to finger “Blue-tongue Films”, Australian Film Company acclaimed for his short films made by mmmm...Nash Edgerton.
Well, about picturing Edgerton’s cinema.., I wouldn’t dare to do that for I haven’t had the chance to watch all of his films, but only three of them.

Nonetheless, I’m sure you will be able to find a lead between every film you’re about to watch, because I did it and that sparked off the introduction you just read. But something is clear, Nash films spit tons of action and most of the time surprise the eye of the observer. So, before the end, I give you the three videos I could find, being two of them his most important works. First, you have one of his most recent features “Spider”, which was the reason why I decided to suggest this novel film director to you. Second, the short film “Lucky”, a much commented work of Edgerton and finally The Pitch, which is…a funny thing? Judge yourselves. So that’s it, now let’s get the hell out of here.
