the first project is called "Outside Her Door." this project was originally inspired by a film maker named chris marker and his film "la Jetee." at the time i saw it, i was just beginning to learn about photos. i was working in a dark room, and generally understood very little about what entailed a good photo. i had no understanding of light, shadows, framing, etc...also, i had not idea how difficult it would be to print 60 photos...anyway, i never finished the project. fast forward a few years. i now own a dslr, and the project became feasible. with the help of my good friends ross, mary soo, and brian, we took a day and did the photo shoot for the script i had written. as with most of my writings, the focus is love and loneliness. i've become craftier with hiding the utter starkness of it's roots, and have learned to create some characters to express my own insecurities on the topics.
the second short film is in the same vein. it has no title. it's short. it's a short video i shot with my students as they made christmas cards in class. i thought the footage was kind of pretty. so, i wrote a poem complimenting it. this is a medium i want to explore more as well. video taping things, writing poems about said things.
anyway, watch them if you'd like.
