Photographer and writer Kyle Cassidy (https://kylecassidy.com) and actor and model Trillian Stars (https://jennifersummerfield.com) join us for a Bonus Episode to talk about their new Kickstarter, THIS IS ONLY EARTH, MY DEAR – POEMS & PHOTOS (kickstarter.com/projects/kylecassidy/this-is-only-earth-my-dear-poems-and-photos, closing May 4, 2024)! We get into their inspiration to make a book combining the poems of Pre-Raphaelite muse/model/artist Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Siddal) with photos of Trillian (in a Pre-Raphaelite mode), how the project changed once they began shooting in East London, how they found enough costumes for all the photos they wanted to take, why Lizzie Siddal was dismissed by the peers of her husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Gabriel_Rossetti), and how modeling and acting overlap and differ (and why Kyle prefers shooting with actors). We also get into what they've learned from nearly a dozen Kickstarters, what stretch goals they're hoping to reach for this one, and why they want to give Lizzie Siddal the book she never got when she was alive. GO PLEDGE (kickstarter.com/projects/kylecassidy/this-is-only-earth-my-dear-poems-and-photos), and follow Kyle on LiveJournal (https://kylecassidy.livejournal.com) and Instagram (instagram.com/kylecassidy/), and follow Trillian on Instagram (instagram.com/trillianstars/) • More info at chimeraobscura.com/vm/bonus-episode-trillian-stars-and-kyle-cassidy • Support The Virtual Memories Show via patreon.com/vmspod and via our e-newsletter, https://buttondown.email/vmspod
