A FILM by Tim Chapman and Katarina Jerinic

2024 . 20 minutes 1 second . Super 8 film to HD video

OUR SOLAR SYSTEM (2003-2023)—or, Who We Were Before We Knew What We’d Become—is a lost love letter written on a road trip through a scale model of the planets in Maine. It was filmed on Super 8 back when Pluto was still a planet and two new lovers expected they could reach the Sun. The footage was found nearly 20 years later and the story reimagined on the other side of love and time, in a re-ordered universe.
