  • Daddy-O

    A father sounds off about his love for fishing, fatherhood and his gay daughter on a weekend fishing trip together.

  • Wet Dress

    An aloof and stunning butch is haunted by images of her dream femme one hot, steamy West Hollywood summer.

  • Redemption of Ogum, The (Redenção de Ogum)

    A haunting, poetic vision from the streets of Brazil. “Today you can find yourself, but soon you will end up getting lost.”

  • Amazing Amazons, The

    A campy combo of live action and animation, “The Amazing Amazons” follows a day in the life of a contemporary female super hero. Aimee is in the midst of a typical Amazon day – fighting censorship, taking out macho attitudes and exposing lies – when her fellow Amazon Amanda rattles her to the very foundation of her Amazon soul.

  • Nesting Season

    Affectionate bunnies romp through the seasons, displaying the cycles of lesbian desire.

  • July’s Wet Dreams

    A hand-processed recipe for a fountain of youth. Comprised of one continuous slow-motion shot, “July’s Wet Dreams” reveals several silhouetted figures amidst a fountain’s watery spray. The hand-processed Super 8 material was manipulated using a variety of coloured toners and application techniques to accentuate the liquid tactility of the image. An evocative portrait of a summer’s day. Honourable Mention for Best Experimental Short, Toronto Worldwide Short Film Festival, 2005

  • Post mark lick

    “Post mark lick” is “a love-song to the pre-digital age of postal correspondence and photogram animation” (Images Festival, 2003). It explores the materiality of the postage stamp and the fleeting narratives of letters and postcards.

  • Jetsam

    An exaltation of the everyday, made using the photogram technique of exposing objects directly onto film; Wire mesh, fibrefill, salt, paper, steel wool, cherry blossoms, grease, spit, bubble wrap, tea leaves, washer rings and a drain-stopper chain are transformed in the process.

  • buffalo lifts

    Awash in sumptuous colour, a herd of buffalo desperately try to hold on as they struggle to cross the film frame.

  • Clamp

    A sexually explicit experimental video. The goal of this work was to create an anti-pornographic work that celebrated marginal sexualities. The subject ignores the viewers’ participation in her pleasure, creating a hermetically sealed auto-erotic experience.
