TRY NOT TO GET WORRIED

I’ll admit it, I forgot I had a blog.

Today I’m releasing two pieces I made in a time of personal crisis. The film on the left is called Meditation Piece 4, it is meant as an introduction to and explanation of the film on the right entitled Untitled #2 (Recovery) which is eight minutes of a completely black screen.

I imagined these films playing in tandem at a film festival, eight minutes of just text meandering upon a black background, then eight minutes of nothing. The audience begins to look at their feet, maybe fall asleep. The rest of the world shuts down. It’s just what is here and what is now. It’s not very much but it’s lovely, it’s life. Then the lights come up and everyone goes home.

The world is very scary right now. I’m going to start spending some more time just breathing.

“Eight minutes of silence. eight minutes of a peaceful black screen. eight minutes in a dark theater left with only ourselves and each other. eight minutes to be in touch with our breathing again. eight minutes to meditate, fall asleep or scream if we have to. ”

The YOUR SECURITY screening at Queens World Film Festival has been indefinitely postponed. I am going to look into streaming festivals in the coming months. The film will be online by the end of the summer and there’s a lot more down the pipeline.

I’m going to continue using this blog to release some of my smaller weirder films, new and old. Maybe I’ll even start blogging. Who knows. But I hope you’ll join me.
