Behind the scenes: 8.3 Minutes

Go behind the scenes of Klaus Thymann's short film 8.3 Minutes with Shoot! in this exclusive interview and making of video.

Photographer Klaus Thymann work has been featured in ID, Dazed & Confused, The Face, and GQ. He has done visual campaigns for Coca-Cola, Levi's, Adidas, BMW, and Nike, and co-founded the art and design-based Black Box magazine.

His short film, 8.3 Minutes, uses elements from Mayan culture and modern technology to explore the divide between science and mysticism. Thymann's work asks just what differentiates our beliefs in the spiritual world from the facts that we cannot ignore. It's a work that builds tension upon itself piece by piece, until all is revealed in a dramatic, surprising conclusion.

Given the PlayStation stimulus word Connect, Klaus created a thought provoking piece focusing on elements of Mayan myth - with help from Thomas Vinterberg as Executive Producer.

Download the short film, 8.3 Minutes, and get these videos directly on your PLAYSTATION 3 or PSP by signing into PlayStation Store.
