Passage of Time: experimental student film, 1985

Passage of Time: 1985 - revised 2002; experimental student film,. Shot on a 16mm Canon Scoopic by a tireless film crew of one, using rough in-camera dissolves and effects. With stark imagery and photographs from poverty-stricken peoples in Africa and New York, along with an ironic bourgeois subtext and complimented with the song Golden Hours by Brian Eno, this short film can evoke an intense response.

 

K: with appologies to Franz Kafka

K: 1987. a scene shot on super 16mm with development funding from Telefilm Canada and the Ontario Film Development Corporation from an unproduced feature screenplay inspired by the works of Franz Kafka, specifically his novels The Trial and The Castle. A contemporary existential muse on the ambiguities of birth and death and that grey area in between.

 

Heck's inner child

Murmurs: Part two of the Cardiovascular Trilogy;1991. The second installment of an unfinished trilogy dealing with desire, love, loneliness and death, Murmurs is a radical departure from part one. Heck Fudd embarks on a hilarious crusade to search for the meaning of love and belonging, desire and being in an indifferent, ironic, post-modern world.

 

Nora's request:

Heartbreak Verité: Part one of the Cardiovascular Trilogy;1990. With a mere $5,000 (Canadian) budget this film is mostly composed of 5 uninterrupted 5 minute scenes as a passive cameraman follows an anxiety-ridden woman who attempts to recover from a devastating breakup. The cameraman (and therefore the audience) becomes a crucial element for her well-being.
