How did you meet? How was this made possible? And how did you decide to go with the lyrics written and performed by Walter West? Give us the lo-down!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Jonathan Haas, Anna Kepe: &#8220;J. Haas has been exploring timpani in many rarified areas of music. During COVID shutdown, Haas did a deep dive into Hip Hop and came out the other side, wanting to put timpani into the art form. Lenny White was the perfect composer to write the piece and he had worked with Walter West prior, thus the soundtrack. Haas had worked with Budovsky, 20 years ago with a film collaboration at the Aspen Music Festival and upon completion of the soundtrack for AT, Budovsky was the perfect choice and collaborator to put a visual aspect to the music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alex Budovsky: &#8220;Jonathan Haas contacted me in September 2022. He knew my work from 20 years ago and kept me on his mind all these years, so when the time came to make an animation for the \u201cAlgorithm Takedown\u201d track, he found me and offered me the job. I thought it was interesting and agreed to participate. I moved to Bogota from New York, where I lived for 16 years back in 2010, and I usually come back once a year, normally in September, so it was the perfect time to meet Jonathan during my visit to NYC. We met in front of NYU where he teaches and discussed future projects. In spring of the next year, the animation was completed. Jonathan is the only person from our team that I met in person. I met Anna Kepe, Lenny White and Walter West only via Zoom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>What are your plans for Algorithm Takedown\u2019s marketing?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>Jonathan Haas, Anna Kepe: &#8220;Worldwide distribution and embracing the message!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1874\" height=\"1054\" title=\"3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2.webp\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2.webp\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-37151\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271874%27%20height%3D%271054%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201874%201054%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271874%27%20height%3D%271054%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2-200x112.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2-600x337.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_a211a9f721c84143bfc916b8f92e1364mv2.webp 1874w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Since Grandmaster Flash and The Message, a Year Zero for hip-hop critics, when hip-hop showed it could be used as a powerful instrument for social commentary, and more precisely since the 2000s, American-born rap, and trap and drill, with lyrics and sounds that have spread to all capital cities from New York to London through to Stockholm and Seoul, have been dealing mostly with drug dealing and street crime.

The appeal of designer clothes, nice cars, and vast wealth through illegal means has been the topic of artists in the industry for as long as I can remember.

When in sync, all senses come into play and AT looks to this outcome as its purpose and mission.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Walter West: &#8220;I am speaking from my personal experiences and my observations of what others go through as well. I have been songwriting professionally for the past 15 years. I&#8217;ve witnessed people lose themselves to the pursuit of stardom and wealth. A number of people I grew up with have lost their identities trying to assimilate into whatever they think will bring them some sense of notoriety. Conspicuous consumption is at an all-time high. I just want people to start being themselves again and stop being so for approval.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>\u201cWelcome to the algorithm takedown. The dopamine rushes like the tall tide as we hang up on the truth just to call lies \u2014 Dark thoughts got my mind spinning like bald tires, but you know trash only draws flies \u2014 they don&#8217;t wanna see you winning they would like to see you broke \u2014 hey this used to be me dirty now they lather me in soap \u2014 this fraud of broken dreams is doing bad and neither hope \u2014 Got to have a sense of humour, this has just to be a joke (\u2026) You\u2019re born and you get taxed just to breathe air \u2014 Something&#8217;s gotta change, something&#8217;s gotta give \u2014 we just want to drive we just want to live \u2014 we can&#8217;t keep on suffering, the people\u2019had enough of it Let&#8217;s overcome the struggle and then get back to the bank again\u201d. Would you tell us about your view on the subprime crisis? Is credit the yoke of the modern age? Is this a 21st-century version of suppression of freedom? And would you say these issues have become even more acute since the pandemic?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14\"><p>Jonathan Haas, Anna Kepe: &#8220;The \u201cMyth Of Sisyphus\u201d is the starting point. The message of AT gets down, specific, to the here-and-now problems we face as humans navigating a complex and unpredictable world. Post-pandemic or not, the message is real and palatable..<\/p>\n<p>Walter West: &#8220;The subprime crisis has (hopefully) brought more attention to the dangers of debt and the importance of financial education. It has also shown how easily credit can be used to exploit people who are already struggling financially. I think schools should teach more financial literacy courses to the youth. Since the beginning, debt has given banks and other lenders too much power over people&#8217;s lives. I would certainly say that this issue has worsened since the pandemic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-5 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1874\" height=\"1054\" title=\"3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2.webp\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2.webp\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-37154\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271874%27%20height%3D%271054%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201874%201054%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271874%27%20height%3D%271054%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2-200x112.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2-600x337.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3f6c36_b32e6570e8bc4005812564ed9c15c139mv2.webp 1874w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-15\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>We\u2019d love to know more about any upcoming plans you might have?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-16\"><p>Jonathan Haas, Anna Kepe: &#8220;AT seeks to reach a global audience and continue the dialogue, through music and animation memorializing other complex and important matters that exist on the earth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-17\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>What is your vision of post-Covid cinema?

It is an amazing experience to see a film on the big screen, and it can\u2019t compete with seeing a film on a TV screen, a computer screen, or a smartphone. The pandemic was kind of a test, and I think true cinema fans have passed it.
