[FILM/MUSIC INTERVIEW] TALL TALES – Jonathan Zawada Interview

Fabled English record producer Mark Pritchard, luminary songwriter Thom Yorke and ground-breaking visual artist Jonathan Zawada present TALL TALES – a debut collaborative visual and audio cinema experience a decade in the making.

This marks the first time TALL TALES will be experienced in this cinematic form, blending Pritchard’s expansive, genre-defying soundscapes with Zawada’s lush, digitally-rendered dream worlds.

TALL TALES is a modern fairy tale set in a world of rising tides, robotic arms, and iridescent skies — where kings, queens, and Amazon logistics collide. Echoed chants meet shimmering electronics as Thom Yorke, Mark Pritchard, and director Jonathan Zawada explore the uneasy boundary between nature and technology.

Blending haunting vocals, experimental soundscapes, and hyperreal visuals, TALL TALES reflects on beauty, power, and the price of progress — a prophetic visual album delivered right on time.
