2004 / Hugh Levinson / TCF, UK

Imagine a cold London winter, where the bizarre and unpredictable sounds made by producer Hugh Levinson's sleeping newborn punctuate the dark nights in the most unimaginable ways.

Jamie's snorts, bangs, clicks, and trumpeting are complemented with journal excerpts, music, and the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Listening to Jamie was commissioned for the 2004 ShortDocs: Stories About Darkness.
