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.

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

Jetsam

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.
