MY NEW FILM!


Looking into Light was created for my Handmade Films Class with Luther Price. By far my favorite class of the semester. It was an on again, off again process of experimentation with new media. Very liberating to work with my hands for a change from all the computer generated stuff. 16mm and super 8 film became a kind of addiction more so than a hobby. It possesses a magic that doesn't quite exist with digital. Also, attending that class was akin to visiting an uncle on the weekends. It was such a privilege to have Luther as a teacher. Not only was he one of the most passionate individuals I have ever met, he would also bring in baked goods to class every week. I took a lot out of that class and will expect to keep working with film as a way to escape getting lost in the LED void of ones and zeros.
