Desert Road
Sage hangs from a rear-view mirror to impart wisdom while a prayer for peace meets mysticism. All things that are left wild are better left untouched by the fingerprint of Man as he travels to a burning oasis in the desert only to find his vision cleansed as he looks further.
-
Drawing A Blank
A psychedelic B&E leaves a sketchbook open and results in a lot of questions. A paradoxical sacrifice is made when one is committed to the page. Does one make high art, for the main stream or low brow art?
-
Euphemism
The death of the Id and the Ego of a hit man as he embraces nature. Inspired by Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil and applied into an imaginary world of a man with a gun and a pact with his tribe.
-
Going Very Steady
Going Very Steady is a film about the Id, finding one’s identity in a world governed by authority, and society’s Super Ego as it appears as a menacing, marching work force.
-
Motion
Motion recalls a Kerouac-like adventure. A protagonist out to find love while coming to grips with the male ego as seen through a voyeuristic perspective. Functioning on the fringes of reality as perspectives shift and contort around the filmmaker, who finds solace, a woman, and religion on the journey as well as the feeling that life is fleeting.
-
One Foot In The Grave
The questions of freedom and the cost of society’s overconsumption are raised in a graveyard where dead military men have been buried.
