“Thats why I love music, its because you can connect with people on a very real level. Rather than it being about either money, class, race, religion or anything else… It is the last leveller of society”

– Daphne Guinness

DAPHNE GUINNESS :THE LAST LEVELLER

A Film By David V Barron

Filmed in and around Daphne’s stunning Irish residence, I am immensely proud to present an unreserved and candid insight into the creative and musical processes of my freind Daphne Guinness.

Daphne freely explains the organic nature of her creativity, with music written and performed by Daphne herself to her collaborations with legendary T-Rex and David Bowie producer, Tony Visconti, Patrick Donne, Nick Knight and surrealist photographer David LaChapelle.

From classical castrati to Daphne’s musical influences and opinion on modern day celebrity, our relaxed chat is juxtaposed with raw and quick paced film segments that move the viewer forward with glimpses of how Daphne creates her music – from practising, to gauging the melodic lines of a track that still requires lyrics, to the surreal, esoteric and dreamlike sequences that form aspects of who Daphne is as a human being.

Forget the fashion icon, brewing heiress, muse and any other one-dimensional label and preconception, because above all my film is unpolished and tangibly real – my film is quite simply, the very human, exceptionally warm, fun-loving Daphne, in her element.

“I don’t allow people near me, I am pretty reclusive but David is my shining star. He is a true artist”
