"What’s the Point?" follows Victoria-based band r.mason as they produce their debut EP over the course of two years during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film explores tangled questions of art and mental health, in conversation with an intertwining community for whom art – especially music – offers a lifeline during times of suffering.

A video that portrays the torture and relief of songwriting; the type of songwriting that requires a heart to be torn apart. Video by John Flatman Song by r.mason

i want sun in my eyes burn my skin change my name where i've been i want air in my lungs i wanna die in your loveliness vocals by Rebecca and Brittany Mason guitars by Jon Blokmanis recorded and mixed by Christian Down video by John Flatman

written by Rebecca sung by Rebecca and Brittany Mason guitars Jon Blokmanis video by John Flatman do you mean all that you say will you mean your words still when i'm shivering in my sheets needing your breath and your peace what aptitude is this when you're shaking hearts busy minds spread fantasy's illusion with the wondering of painted desire anyway you roll it shake it and rattle it anyway you roll it shake it and rattle it it's our own design can i violate this anymore and fog the windows on the car confuse the stoned and the drunk and betray the one who's breaking bones go on and fuss around the tree you can run your circles 'round i'll spill my leaves in colours they're changin' i'm just as confused as the days are long

i’m an l.a. wannabe, i find street life a bore their hair is high but the attitude they’re rockin’ slides into pools of drab building lines they move like the ripples in my voice it’s like he said that one time when he was blind and their minds are lifeless and they dance around if only this rockstar soul could drive it’s the way he tells me, when I could just die then i’ve got more power and shine with me on his arm, than any old mind style and art and dreamers walking streets with souls buried up buried up in sleep i’ve got you and words to sing i’ve got a pocket full of wings and you’ve got all of me
