This is a strange little piece which I gave to an editor to try. I was in the North of Syria traveling and stopped at this castle which was magnificent - and we caught the rehearsal for some kind of ceremony that was about to happen. Everyone was nervous and tense and the horsemen who had apparently done a marvelous job the day before suddenly weren't performing well. Additionally, they were all imported from Raqaa', which is in the northeast of Syria and several hours away. One had an amazing tattoo of a horse on his back (not featured in the short). The entire rehearsal kind of fell apart, which I think this piece emulates well, as it also kind of also falls apart.
