Here’s a video I made about 2 years ago. It was a promo for a short film. It was lost to the hard drives of time until now. Enjoy.

Adam Curtis, Journalism + Video Art

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Above is the last few minutes of Adam’s latest work, “It Felt Like a Kiss”. This I believe is being toured around art houses in Europe and has yet to make it over here in a legal format. Adam is best known for his documentary series “The Power of Nightmares” and “The Trap”.

What makes Adam Curtis brilliant:

Adam has found a way to take complicated, ambiguous content and fashion it into something so immersive that it plays like a feature film.  He puts these complex ideas into a narrative that anyone can latch on to and supports it with found footage. It’s in this footage spanning the past century that he builds these compelling montages .

Where the Zeitgeist art docs come off as condescending, Adam Curtis comes off as that cool British teacher that knows his shit (and doesn’t belong at your university). He also has impeccable taste in visual imagery. He never says too much or blatantly panders his position but rather leaves it to the imagery and a bit of your imagination. Still, you can sense there’s always a gentle nudge.

There’s a unique feeling that comes with watching an Adam Curtis series that I’ve never felt in any other news  delivery vehicles.  It’s a hearty feeling, one you achieve only when you’ve learned something. But beyond that and even more amazing …  I WAS ENTERTAINED.

Who thought news information and entertainment could mix in such a lovely fashion.

Cheers to Adam Curtis and the ilk soon to follow.

Tiny Romance

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

This is a story about Alfred, a paranoid schizophrenic with O.C.D who falls in love with a girl.

Please laugh at this however you like.  It’s 30 minutes.

Lots of great people helped me out on this. I won’t name them all here so just watch the credits and clap.

There’s music from Sunset Rubdown and Mosh Patrol in it.  I forgot to mention them in the credits so… go have a listen!

I’ve been trying to get this online for over a year now. Thanks to Juard and his superior computer equipment, this is finally a reality.

If you make it through this movie and this sentence let me know what you think good or bad.  Neeeed input. More input!
