The Object in Space

Here's a short video of my piece The Gate to the Enclosure in the gallery where it's installed at the Weisman Art Museum.

(video documentation by Isaac Gale and Dave Underhill)

I'm planning on adding a page to my official portfolio website (videohaiku.com) to archive the piece soon, but I haven't figured out how to accomplish that, yet.

It's a new challenge for me, because most of my work is well suited to the two-dimensional space of a computer screen - this is the first time I've really stepped out of that frame.

Hello.

I've just begun to work on a new documentary project, inspired by my experience in a men's group (kind of like group therapy, without the therapist), and the organization that the group is a part of, called "The ManKind Project."

It's hard to say exactly, but I'm guessing that it'll take at least a year to gather all the footage, and we have to find money for the project too - but I'm very excited about it, and it looks like I get to work with some long-time collaborators, Dain Ingebretson and Charlie Borden.

I've decided to start another blog, to track the progress of that project, and explore and discuss all of the surrounding issues that come up... it's called Masculine Myth.

Feel free to go check it out, and I do hope it'll become a collaborative effort, so if you have content to suggest, links to articles, etc.. - don't hesitate to let me know. I plan to post there at least a couple times a week.

Shot with a primitive, hand-made "pinhole" 16mm camera - no lens, no motor, pretty much nothing but raw film on a spool, in a box.

Made as part of the Wilderness Filmmaking Expedition, at the Handmade Film Institute, in Colorado in the summer of 2008.

Music by Spaghetti Western.
