  • Down Payment on a Dead Horse

    “Down Payment on a Dead Horse” begins as a formal portrait of the Saskatchewan winter landscape, and becomes an examination of masculinity (shot on Super 8, 16mm and VHS). Here, I am focused on the inherent innocence that lies within these family images, and I am also drawn to the darker implications of them as well. In contrast, the winter landscapes are meant to be in direct opposition to the lush color, and familiar poses that have become synonymous with old Super 8 “home movies.”

  • Dead Horse Point

    “Dead Horse Point” is a film that expresses my feelings of ambivalence for the western genre, and America as a nation. It essentially deals with the notion of “the old west,” “the frontier,” the blurred line between historical fact and myth, the role of Hollywood in the historical process, the importance of celebrity in America, and finally the influence that the western landscape has had in defining the mythology of “the old west.”
