Remember Summer?

This was made for a screening of films based upon the sun that was supposed to happen in San Francisco last year, but got cancelled at the last minute.

it's a blue blue tuesday, but what a beautiful day

Jeffery Von Ragan's film "Down Canvas Cloud" drizzles a wonder of blues down upon san francisco life.

Creepy escapades

Walking around late at night i'll often think of this film. There's so much out there and so many people and we don't have eyes in the backs of our heads or on the sides, what are we missing, and what's really going on between the cracks of reality?

Multiple layers of generational speak

Richard Touhy's film "Cocky-Two" begins somewhat normal, but quickly folds into itself over and then over and then over and over again creating a kaleidoscoptic vision of bird and mirrors, but what i find truly amazing is the unique languages created by the bird layered over and over itself.

Come hang with Johnny Public

Jon Moritsugu's film "mommy mommy where's my brain?" compiles together distraught disturbances, antagonized yearnings, and some fine editing indeed.

Paper Landscape at Les Voutes Paris

I stumbled across this while looking at Bruce McClure stuff. I really like this a lot though. The interaction between filmmaker then and now separated only by the projection of the past is pretty poetic.

Prepare a Rite

Reading the paper is bad for me.

Island Song (1976)

Charlemagne Palestine (b. 1947)
This is a work of art. It reminds me as well of Jon Jost's film "Bell Diamond". That empty odd landscape of rocks and shacks, in a place you know, but don't know. And of course the beautiful sounds, the wonderful noise, the masterful tones the rhythms. What an odd piece of music and yet so wonderfully true.

Dance of the Deviant

This was my first attempt at a "narrative" cartoon made with this style, hi-contrast 16mm film hand processed. It all began with this character I made and I simply wanted to make him dance!

No Vacancy!

This was made for a friend's Urban Planning graduate thesis project entitled "No Vacancy!". The idea of the project is to place artists into vacant spaces while they are waiting to be rented, fill in the voids with color and ideas.

Health Care Para Toda!

I needed to say something about health care and this was my only voice I could think of to use. I made this in an hour.
