The creative team at Timber, led by Creative Directors Jonah Hall and Kevin Lau, were called on by Motionpoems (www.motionpoems.org) to create compelling visuals for an original poem by Poet Monique Adelle. Featuring voice-over by Ashley Becerra, the piece merges alluring colors of gold, white, silver and black to create unique and mesmerizing shapes moving in synchronized motion.

"Timber has been such a solid partner to me in commercial production so I was thrilled when they agreed to do a Motion Poem," said Carolyn Casey, Executive Producer at Motion Poems. "The show would not have been the same without their mesmerizing, beautifully crafted film. And as expected, the production process with Timber was effortless."

Monique Adelle's poem "A Sonnet After Chopin's Requiem" is part of Motionpoems' powerful seventh season of films, produced in partnership with Cave Canem (www.cavecanem.org) exploring the theme of "How Do You Raise a Black Child?" The series made its debut at the prestigious Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in Fall 2016; and just had its Los Angeles screening at the Playa Studios this month in January 2017.
