THE WARRIOR
SHOT BY MICHAEL J FILER
Shots of Gershon Tarabalus as Rich from the short film Borderline, set to release in 2026, captured during moments where the character begins to fully take shape. These images sit between performance and reality, taken on set as the energy of the film unfolds, revealing a figure defined by tension, movement, and internal conflict.
"There is a raw physicality in the work, where posture, gesture, and expression carry a sense of weight and history, suggesting hardship without needing explanation. Light and shadow play a key role, often obscuring as much as they reveal, allowing the character to emerge gradually from darkness rather than being fully presented.
This collection focuses on those in between moments, where Rich feels most alive, not staged, but discovered. It captures a character driven by intensity and instinct, offering a glimpse into the emotional core of the film and presenting him not just as a role, but as a presence forming in real time."
