A SILENT FILM ABOUT LOVE IN QUARANTINE... I made this film entirely in quarantine with my girlfriend Seyna, whom I live with, using only the resources around us. I Wrote, Directed, DP-ed, Produced, Operated, Production Designed, Choreographed, and Starred in it…We made the entire film remotely- all props, costumes, camera equipment bought online and delivered by Amazon. Shot on my iphone 8 plus with the 8mm app. It was our way of coping with the pandemic and keeping our minds occupied as a way to distract ourselves from everything that was happening in the world around us. Was quite possibly one of the difficult things I’ve ever done, but it was an incredibly rewarding experience which gave me meaning and purpose through these uncertain and anxious times. ENJOY! Written, Directed, Produced, Cinematography, Production Designed, and Choreographed by Ace Norton Starring Seyna Van Der Linden & Ace Norton Produced & Wardrobe by Seyna Van der Linden Executive Producer & Post Production by Micah Levin All Props, Costumes, & Camera Equipment bought and delivered by Amazon.

A Documentary short about a blind man who feels the very first 3 dimensional portrait of himself... Original vimeo staff pick link here: https://vimeo.com/166149898 DIRECTED BY ACE NORTON PRODUCED BY SAM CANTOR EDITED BY MICHA LEVIN CINEMATOGRAPHY BY ALEX ALEXANDROFF SOUND BY JAMES LARSON cantorfineart.com/story/please-touch-the-art/ One day a blind man discovered a screw painting by Andrew Myers with his hands. The blind man found as much enjoyment out of the tactile elements of the work as any sighted person ever has by just looking at them. Andrew considers this moment as one of the most inspiring of his career. Which led us to a question: Why is touching artwork so taboo? Prior to the mid-1800s, tactile interaction was commonplace for visitors experiencing collections of art, but as museums of art evolved, rules forbidding touch became the norm. In some cases, these were to protect artwork that truly was not meant to be touched, but in large part these norms had nothing do with preservation and everything to do with nineteenth century politics of gender, race and class control. In light of all this, we decided to create a documentary that elevates the level of tactile arts, and gives back to the visually impaired community. It was at that point that we met George Wurtzel. George is a blind artisan and teacher working at Enchanted Hills Camp in Napa Ca. This is a 300 acre camp nestled in the red wood forest above Napa Valley. Enchanted Hills is a summer camp for the visually impaired. Here George teaches blind folks, through example, how to use all the equipment necessary to become blind artisans. Currently, George is converting an old grape crushing barn into a Tactile Art Center. The top floor of the building is his 1900 sq. ft. wood working shop. The bottom floor will be his Tactile Art gallery space where blind people can feel and sell their artwork. We fell in love with George and his mission and wanted to support his new tactile art gallery. So we worked with Andrew Myers to surprise George with a tactile portrait of himself. The first portrait he will be able to feel and recognize.

AMB specifically addresses the educational, social, and physical needs of talented blind music students so that they can fully develop their unique talents and be prepared for integration into the workplace or other educational settings.
