Stephen Broomer: "Some context that you will not find in its synopsis: the film is made in my parents' back garden, shot last summer, and focuses on three elements: flowers/grass/trees/sunlight, conical tubes for planters, and the busted up remains of my first guitar, which came apart after 14 years in 2011.

The guitar and its separated neck are placed in the planters and in a bed of roses and on the ground in various positions. The title comes from the same source as the synopsis, Wallace Stevens' The Man with the Blue Guitar.

This is not some literalization of that poem, though - that poem was about generational discord and the gulf between creating and receiving, among other things, it was about something greater than the metaphoric object (a mirror of Picasso's The Old Guitarist) while this is just a record of an object and nothing more, this object that reflects the sky and the trees and the shape of the home that I grew up in."
