Matt Flint Reveals Wildlife Character in the Gloaming
March 15th, 2019
It’s sometimes said the greatest quality an actor can have in movies is an unusual blankness of eye-expression.

In “Somewhere in the Sky,” one large serenely wind-gliding owl is portraitized by Flint: the gray flat milky simple blankness of its round lusterless eye-orbs invite you somehow to imagine what this owl might be thinking of as it peers at you. Again, the feeling of a character, the lure of story.
