This three channel installation was created for an exhibition in Milwaukee at The Suburban Riverwest, a corner store in a residential neighborhood that has been turned into a gallery and run by artists and curators Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam .

It was my first collaboration with actor and writer Beth Lisick, and my first time on screen as an actor. I wanted to explore the structure of the “director’s commentary.” I’m not sure if it still exists, but in the age of DVDs it was an extra that you could choose from the menu, where the director and some of the key actors would sit in a living room or office and speak over the film as it was playing. I was interested in how the commentary could possibly become confused with the actual plot of the film. The idea of making into 3 channels, created a physical experience for the viewer, where they had to actually move from one element to the next.

The film Featured Beth Lisick and Scott Vermiere, with music by No Age. Following the exhibition, we decided to create a theatrical edit, which premiered at the 2019 San Francisco International Film Festival and the Camera Obscura Festival in Petaluma. It was produced Revelator and producer extraordinaire Chris Ohlson, shot by Drew Xanthopoulos, edited by Daniel Tarr, Choreography by Katie Faulkner and music by No Age.
