Owner of this World

If you’ve seen Where the Wild Things Are (amaz­ing, in my opin­ion), you already know that the film’s star, Max Records, is one tal­ented kid. So it may come as no sur­prise to you that his par­ents also have tal­ents of their own. Max’s father, Shawn Records, is a doc­u­men­tary pho­tog­ra­pher (check out his blog here), who cap­tured the four months of shoot­ing the movie on film. And now the images are avail­able in book form from Publication Studio. In the inter­est of full dis­clo­sure, Records is “is con­vinced that the book will dis­ap­point any­one look­ing for insight into the film or the film­mak­ers and offers it as a man­i­fes­ta­tion of his own anx­i­eties; a col­lec­tion of fears and reas­sur­ances, upon let­ting his son out into a world that is beyond his con­trol.” I, how­ever, think this makes the prospect of the book all the more inter­est­ing. Here are a few sneak peeks (more here).

    Oh man, I love this. Wild Things is prob­a­bly my most favorite film in aaaaages, and I’m very happy to see some addi­tional mate­r­ial that’s more than just the usual pop-up shop or pro­mo­tional piece.
