These pieces, all influenced by histories of cinema and contemporary video art explore various seen and unseen forces: materials, logics and pressures that ambiguously ooze into the frame of the story through often unspoken and unsettling means.

This short film program includes the following films:
Falling in Love with Chris and Greg: Episode 2 Road Trip! TV Special
Falling in Love… is a situation comedy about a gay odd couple, one liberal, one radical; one transgendered, one not. They don't have a whole lot in common, but somehow they manage. In the sophomore episode, Road Trip! TV Special, Chris and Greg explore the epic topics of gay marriage and pregnant men during a road trip through the American Southwest.
I'm Cool, I'm Good
In It's Cool, I'm Good, a bandaged and injured protagonist (Kahn), seduces, entertains, harasses and charms a slew of nurses who have agreed to hold the camera. The "patient" is at once selfless and narcissistic, verbose and elusive, vulnerable and manipulative. With a 22-track surround sound audio score and over twenty locations featured, It's Cool, I'm Good reflects a stressed personal state amidst a stressed environment.
El Maragato Barometrica
Shot on location at a country house in Uruguay, El Maragato Barométrica focuses on an attempt to empty a sceptic tank. This act of emptying is countered by a persistent rain. An unseen family, systems of drainage, fluids, pipes, headless bodies hiding behind corners and a happy, guzzling sceptic truck are the main characters in this video which makes references to Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and the films from the Nuevo Cine Argentino school in general and Lucrecia Martel's La Cienaga specifically.
My Life in 5 Minutes
The autobiopic My Life in 5 Minutes tells a life story with a bittersweet song, animation and family snaps. Some photos hold painful or awkward memories for the artist; through computer animation, she enlarges her own eyes to blink the pain away.
