The Foreground (2024) // Experimental Feature Film // Director, DoP, Writer, Editor, Producer

A man searches for inspiration in travel and the mundane after the failure of a project.

"Following the deterioration of a struggling film project, its unmoored director, Ty, embarks on a trip to visit old acquaintances and get a change of scenery. Teetering between meditation and voyeurism, the film closely follows Ty as he explores the mundane moments between creative death and rebirth. Lingering shots of daily rituals interspersed with ever-changing scenery and companions create a dreamlike quality that bends time as well as genre. Dramatic, fantastical, stark, and experimental, director Ty Jacob’s premiere feature film is a worthy addition to the slow cinema canon exploring creativity’s endless cycle of heartbreak and repair."
