“Wine and Cupcakes” is a visually beautiful artistic 12-minute short film by photographer Bruce Weber, a multilayered emotional celebration of love. Bruce Weber is renowned for his fashion photography, which over the past 30 years has appeared in editorial layouts for “Vogue” and “Vanity Fair” magazines, and in advertising campaigns for Abercrombie + Fitch and Ralph Lauren, but his long career as a filmmaker is not nearly as well known.
As an independent film director, Weber has self-financed documentaries and short films for the past 20 years. Many of his works have been widely acclaimed, but they have never been widely distributed in theaters and seem to go out of print not long after they are released. The range of Weber’s interests is very wide and somewhat eccentric, so his films often feel like the private visual journals of an obsessive fan and collector.
“Wine and Cupcakes” is an emotionally touching commemoration of New York City’s Central Park, shot partly as a remembrance of the aftermath of 9/11. The film is also a celebration of intimate personal feelings of love, following a middle-aged artist couple as they spend a long autumn afternoon in Central Park doing nothing special, but nevertheless storing up wonderful memories of a perfect New York day. The married couple is composer and pianist Paul Cantelon and singer Angela McCluskey, friends and neighbors of Weber in Manhattan. McCluskey is a Grammy nominated Scottish songstress who has had a long career as eclectic as her personal style.
This piece includes photographs, the short film and a music video.
