Scripting of a
90-minute documentary exploring the life and legacy of 19th-century
photographer Eadweard Muybridge.
Splitting the Second: The Brilliant, Eccentric Life of Eadweard Muybridge is a 90-minute documentary and educational project exploring the life, work and legacy of the 19th-century photographer. During Muybridge’s lifetime, America and Europe underwent an unprecedented period of change, driven by an explosion of new technologies, the emergence of science, and the rise of industrial capitalism. Muybridge was an important contributor to this accelerating and shrinking world and has left a legacy of tens of thousands of photographs and a profound influence over our modern visual storytelling culture. His work raises questions that continue to resonate deeply today.
