  • Last Night of Charles Bukowski, The

    Sometimes words and phrases have higher meaning at specific moments. Sometimes words spoken take on significance much later. There’s just massive “stuff” to absorb each day, and some days are sponges. “The Last Night of Charles Bukowski” is about such moments.

  • Late Afternoon

    Late afternoon light is usually viewed as “the magic light,” the most beautiful light of the day. But it is too short for people to really enjoy it. So is the love between human beings. The love story of two women in this video represents love in general. Although love is momentary, it is unforgettable – which is the whole meaning of the life we are living.

  • Law Is in the Seed, The

    “The Law Is in the Seed” is a video of a poem by the same name written by Alex Jacobs, a Mohawk Indian poet from Akwesasne (New York State). The poem is about the Native American concept of democracy as contained in the Great Law, an oral document which originated with Deganawida, the Huron co-founder of the Iroquois Confederacy. The Great Law was the model for the United States Constitution. As Jacobs begins to recite the poem on camera, the video mixes to the faces of Mohawk children and women, their lips moving in and out of sync with Jacobs’…

  • Accident/Interruption

    An examination of the factors which hinder people, especially women, from finding a voice. “Interruption is a mechanism by which: A) men can prevent women from talking, and B) they can gain the floor for themselves…” – Dale Spender . “After all, the whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place.” – John Osborne The roughness of the film is a testament to the determination to work through all the technical problems of the production.Throughout, the questions – how are images (of self, of others, on film) constructed? and…

  • Arabic Numeral Series – Arabic 5

    This series of films, each extraordinarily unique from every other (except “0 + 10” going together) is inspired and governed by strata of the mind’s moving-visual-thinking different from that of the “Roman Numeral Series” or perhaps one should say that the Arabic Numerals come to fruition thru some tree-of nerves separate from that which gave birth to the Romans (as it is physiologically deceptive to think of thought as existing in “layers”). The Arabics range in length from approximately 5 min. to 32 min. and may be projected at 24 fps as well as 18, tho’ the latter speed seems…

  • Leave Me Alone Don’t Ever!

    While sitting in a pig-sty meditating on gloom and squirming compost, a spurned lover begins to spontaneously levitate. At first she’s unimpressed: “Not much of a levitation, a couple of inches, useful in places where the seats are hard, like customs offices, buses, churches, yoga class, but other than that, what’s the use?” But then, a revelation: “Maybe when she sees how spititual I’ve become, maybe then she’ll love me like she ought to.” She floats to her lover’s door in a desperate attempt to win back lost love. No dice. Things just go from weird to worse. “A pixillated…

  • Let Me Wrap My Arms Around You

    Leila is haunted by dreams. Dreams of drowning, of a love long since gone cold, and the frozen place in the far north where it all happened – Rankin Inlet, NWT. Intoxicated by love, she travelled there long ago to live with her chosen one, only to fall victim to a crippling internal disease and a debilitating, hallucinatory winter that claimed her passion and, for a time, her sanity.
