Firing Flares @ Unnoticed Glares

Beyond all human restraint lies one's lugubrious layers of paint.

Shot in the abandoned buildings of Gary, Indiana and the cornfields of Western Illinois, The Twenty-One Lives of Billy the Kid presents a fractured historical narrative without any real protagonist, one in which the titular character goes mostly unseen - Billy the Kid as the always-off-screen assailant, as a ghost’s laugh, as a shadow on the road.

1 minute experimental film.

A 'reversal' of Jean-Léon Gérôme's 1872 painting Pollice Verso.

As a family struggles to survive in rural isolation during the Great Depression, their daughter's secret affair begins a journey into the unknown.

Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.

I really hope this is well-received. I really hope there's some sort of reprieve.

Radical recurrences & rancorous requests raze my daze.

Onward, upward, greener [redder] grasstures.

Return to 'burn' only to find out you're already in that urn.

(Some of us) Still run down the same [mental&emotional] streets we revered/reproached/replaced as children.

From a small cabin in the mountains of New York, Nina Breeder and Massimilian Breeder begin a journey across the United States. California is just the initial destination, but just as the edge of the surrounding landscape expands, so does their ultimate destination. A contemplation of nature and time along a raw journey in the American landscape.

Rather pointless, rather stilted, fetid; not what we want us going after.

On the Clickity-clack Express it's clear I'm always under duress, unless I forget.

Hiding inside&out, writhing about, taken out&in.

Two men. Friends? Enemies? Lovers? Brothers? One is nothing, success or failure depends on two.

A psychedelic montage of home movie footage gives way to a silent western story.

Calangros: Um faroeste sobre o terceiro mundo

Through a very surreal chase of spying and surveillance, Catafuse, a dubiously dressed "creature", hunts down specific human targets with the help of Molosstrap. But in a world completely run by the shadowy hands of the pharmaceutical industry, the lines of reality become so blurry and complex, that the mastering of insanity might just be the only way out...
