“Kudos to David on a quiet masterpiece. It is Daphne Guinness, for those of us privileged to know.”
– Doug McClemont (Writer / Art Critic)

“That’s 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 leveler 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 Daph herself – to her collaborations with legendary T-Rex and David Bowie producer, Tony Visconti, Patrick Donne, Nick Knight, and surrealist photographer David LaChapelle.
By David V Barron
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 practicing the melodic lines of a track that still require lyrics, to the surreal, esoteric and dreamlike sequences that form aspects of who I know Daphne to be 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, natural and tangibly real.
