CHARACTER (2002)

I'm very proud to report that my experimental film CHARACTER (2002) is part of the T.A.L.E.N.T. Art Exhibit at QVC Studio Park this summer. 

CHARACTER (2002) is the middle installment of an art film trilogy I collaborated on with composer/producer Paul Oehlers. This videofilm showcases individual letters as objets de art. Existing on everything from tattoos to tombstones, these isolated characters witness a bizarre world filled with flapping flags, frosted doughnuts and Marie Osmond. CHARACTER is edited to Paul Oehler's experimental composition entitled "Residual Impact." Total running time: 7 minutes 30 seconds.
