DIRECTOR’S CUTS

Each of these films were made while making, or doing, other things. Explorations of form, or practicing a cinematic technique or a research into a place. Born To Go Fishing, the product of a conversation with a poet while on vacation off the coast of Newfoundland, featuring Roy Dwyer’s poem recorded in his tool shed. CDMX 1 & 2, are contrasting explorations of color, texture and street photography while shooting a fashion film in Mexico City and are set to the Juana Molina track, “Ando” (#1) and Joakim Skogsberg’s “Jola Fren Ingbo” (#2.) Two Nights In Cornwall, captured at a summer literary festival on the heels of shooting a documentary project in London, featuring versions of, among other songs, the traditional Cornish tune “Sweet Nightingale.” Both I Flooded You and There Is No Self were shot on location scouts for commercial projects in, respectively, the California desert and propped up by Anthony Newley’s 1971 spoken word classic, and in a rapeseed field on the outskirts of Arles, based on a conversation between Harry Dean Stanton and David Lynch.
