FILMOGRAPHY

The films listed in this filmography were made in 16 mm, black & white, and shot at sound speed (24 fps). Those listed as sound films have an optical soundtrack on the final print. In several cases the final edited print did not make it to the optical sound print stage and the sound is on a separate tape track intended to be played simultaneously if screening the 16mm print.
All films were made using a Beaulieu R16 camera. The work style was intimate―I wrote directly with the camera from behind the lens, often shooting hand-held, moving with the movement of the scene before me and guided by a sense of the inevitability of the images as they unfolded. My colleagues, who appear in front of the camera, entered our projects fully, with sensitivity and generosity, yielding to the camera, offering their faces, gestures, expressions, moods. We worked together toward the construct of a mental space and time like those of dreams and memory, though my films were not intended to be dream or memory.
I filmed exclusively in black and white with its shadowy beauty―an excavation of the psyche. The narratives, to the extent that there are narratives, tend to be non or anti-narratives, consisting of images that present themselves within the context of a roughly sketched poetic that suggests or evokes.
