I am an avid spectator and participant in the world of critical / avant-garde nonfiction film. Here is my program for Fall 2011 at the University of Virginia:

I’m particularly fascinated by the effects of duration, the exhibition space, and the symbolic function of images. Some of my favorite filmmakers include Chris Marker, John Cassavetes, Su Friedrich, Caveh Zahedi, Travis Wilkerson, James Benning, Mark Rappaport, Lisandro Alonso, Ken Jacobs, Charles Burnett, and many more.

The following videos were made using phones and cheap consumer cameras. Some of them are very boring.
