R&T: S1 E1 - Harmony Korine

In October 2017 Frank and Tyrone Lebon were invited onto the set of Harmony Korine’s film, 'The Beach Bum' for six weeks. Given the freedom to wander the set as they pleased, the Lebons received unrestricted access and a privileged insight into the filmmaking process of Korine - a long-time inspiration for both brothers.

They came home with thousands of photographs and over fifty hours of footage which has resulted in two distinct pieces of collaborative work - a twenty-minute film and the photobook titled '

The book is a compilation of photographs, video stills, written diary entries, call sheets, and vintage Florida tourist paraphernalia taped together into a scrapbook of sorts; part on-set documentary photography, part notebook of thoughts, questions and anecdotes for their film. Korine’s colorful set provided a bountiful stream of wild and wacky scenarios to document, from naked extras destroying Miami mansions to Moondog (McConaughey) setting boats on fire and dancing in tinfoil underwear. The mayhem of the set is balanced with the brothers’ delicate care for and interest in Korine’s craft and philosophies; evident in the quieter portraits and reflective notes scattered throughout the book.

Similarly to the book, the film is a complimentary chaotic collage of video footage, audio snippets, interviews, music and animated imagery that takes you on a rampant journey through the making of 'The Beach Bum’. The Lebon brothers capture and mirror the poetic and chaos-embracing creative process and world that Korine himself employs in the making of his films. 'Inside the Bum' is both a reflection of and on Korine’s approach to filmmaking and to life itself:

“The thing is, I chase the real life. You almost decide beforehand that you’re gonna go with the energy. I try to grab the energy, follow the energy. FOLLOW THE ENERGY!” - 

Harmony Korine

'CUTS': New Updated 2nd Edition Book and Film Screening

DoBeDo is delighted to announce the re-release of ‘CUTS’, a book of portraits shot by Steve Brooks in the ‘90s and ‘00s at the cult hairdressers 'Cuts' in Soho, London.

Following the success of the first edition, which sold out within one month of its release, this second edition will contain additional unseen images. It will also coincide with the promotion for the upcoming release of 'CUTS' a documentary film by Sarah Lewis about the salon and co-owners Steve Brooks and James Lebon. All profits from sales of this edition will fund the completion of the documentary.

The triptychs that appear in the book were originally displayed as enlarged 35mm black and white contact sheets in the window off the Soho shop, replaced only when the next roll was developed, and then they were forgotten. 'CUTS' is therefore a valuable record of the institution and its Soho clientele from a significant era in London's cultural history.

The book launch for this second edition was held at Reference Point with a Q&A with Sarah Lewis chaired by Jonah Freud. Since this event, the documentary was screened at the Locarno Film Festival 2023 where it was awarded the Jannuzzi Smith Award and Le Film Français Award by the festival's First Look jury.
