730p


Films include:

The Purse Belongs to Her - Sometimes first impression are the best impressions. Created in 5 hrs on the coldest day in November.

Elastic Stronghold - Spaces and situations can be mundane. Boredom makes our experiences feel plastic-like, lifeless and hard. Because of this we start to feel pain. Through work and imagination we can create a transformation. We can temporarily experience a comfortable cushion. We experience a new color existence. Soft and airy; it’s not perfect; it’s just different.

The Guy who Lived on the Stairs - Drew the Dramatic Fool reinvents the ancient art of brilliant bumbling, inspired by a thousands of years old tradition of royal jesters, vaudeville eccentrics, silent film comedians, animated cartoons, theatrical clowns and imperfect humans everywhere.

The Barn & the Girl in the Barn - After having had a dream, I wrote a letter to a friend. She then wrote a story for me, and so I made a movie for her. This, then, is a performance of a movie based on a story written about a dream about a ghost or about a barn or about a girl.

Bajalica - Bajalica means incantation, bewitchment, medicine, conjuration, enchantment. Bajalice are spoken poems found in the Serbian pagan tradition. They all intone their healing charms to cure illnesses or free from the evil spirit.

The Guy who Half Baked

Birdcatcher - A dissection of cinema as an object, a process, and a result that reaches beyond both. The picture addresses the movie-making impulse by drawing comparisons with other human urges, such as fetishism, hunting, and the confused tension between science and things beyond reason.

Native New Yorker 2006 Tribeca Film Festival winner. Filmed thru the eey of 1924 hand-crank spring-wound Cine-Kodak camera and features Terry “Coyote” Murphy representing the Native American influence of the isle of Manhattan.

A time for all Seasonings - Mid-day cocktails and afternoon tea delight the audience of a Vaudeville theater n this “silent film” but it’s the Shaker Brothers who steal the show, even from each other!
