Time Line : Sheila Metzner



Continuing a great working relationship with SVA and the Visual Arts Gallery, Designer and filmmaker Ande La Monica directed a short film retrospective about the acclaimed photographer Sheila Metzner.

Titled Time Line, the film features the exhibition, the opening night celebration, and a graphic montage highlighting the artist’s work. “It’s a fantastic little film.” Commented Ande. “Sheila’s work spans over 40 years. As well as creating some brilliant images of Uma Thurman, Tilda Swinton, David Lynch, Warren Beatty, and Kim Basinger, her studies of the Brooklyn Bridge are just… stunningly beautiful. It was a pleasure to work with the material.”

The exhibition itself includes approximately 100 images, drawn from Metzner’s personal collection, and will feature highlights from her work in several genres - fashion, still life, landscape and portraiture - each rendered in her signature, evocative style. The exhibition will include several never-before-exhibited works, including selections from her latest series, 36 Views of Brooklyn Bridge.


Ande continued, “We handled everything from the sketched storyboards to the final mastering. In a short time, we were able to shoot, edit, develop the motion graphics, and score the music. It was a great project and the client was super happy with the result.”
