This film captures a moment in time during 9/11 by documenting the phenomenon of the Bellevue Hospital's "wall of prayers." It is my hope that it will allow viewers to spend a few moments quietly getting to know the people who perished on 9/11, and to recall a unique moment in history.

My Little Town

Collection of cartoon anecdotes summons the small-town world of the turn of the century, condensed into a single day, with ‘Czech’ good humour. The mosaic-like short evokes locations of the artist’s childhood, the Fin de Siècle milieu of Sopron through the glittering imagination of the graphic artist director, where the stationmaster salutes the rising sun, and the train driver associates himself with a mermaid in his bath, who he caught that day in the lake.

This digital video arose from the idea of trying to transfer to film all the photographic images I had created with the so-called “photo-finish” technique. While in the process of completing it, I used single frame digital animation to shoot the faces and their sudden transformations when subjected to the photo-finish technique, transferring them, then imparting motion to them in a single animated sequence on the computer. This agitation, torn from photographic fixity [is] subjected, in turn, to distortion by its intersection with objects texture-mapped with those same faces. The passage from motionless quiet to paroxysmal interference; the animating startle of Bach’s cello.

"This is the half hour film I made about my neighbor, Mister Butch, the exiled king of Kenmore Square, who lived in Allston MA USA at the same time I did, except that I had a roof over my head and he didn't. True to his word, Mister Butch died in the street in 2007. He was missed by many. I flew back to Boston for his memorial parade, I think there were like 1000 people in the street. To make this little no budget movie I had help from Amy Whitten, Jenny Tse, Jennet Cook, Star Nigro, James Ryan, and Nathan Lewis Hughes, among others."

When Rachel Raney and David Murray set out to create a film on suburban sprawl and the rise of “McTowns,” they never imagined the stories they’d find. The result is Livemore, part documentary, part fairytale, part mystery, and mostly comedy: a portrait of a formerly bucolic suburb threatened by rapid growth and change and the handful of eccentric old-timers struggling to hold on to what makes their piece of small-town America unique.

The three fight to defeat “Desper”, a sinister character who is responsible for polluting the water, cutting down trees, destroying wildlife and dirtying everything that comes in front of him."
