FILMS
During the fall of 1989 I began the "time lapse" process of documenting the construction of two science buildings on the U.C. Berkekey campus. Too often that technique shows the structures magically emerge, flowerlike, from the earth. Instead, I tried to feature the
workers who actually make it all happen.
"Worker Man"
Construction of Koshland Hall & Genetics/ Plant Biology Building, U.C. Berkeley 1992
This film is my poetic interpretation of the punk song"Manimal" originally performed by The Germs in Los Angeles, 1979. In this music video I've tried to represent slices of cultural alienation ingested by the songwriter/singer Darby Crash, pushing him to commit suicide, at the age of 22, two years after he first performed the song.
The Professional
Yuri is a professional demonstrator willing to give an exclusive interview during the Trump campaign for president.
Sam Urai Shaver - 2016
Sam ponders remarks made by Donald Trump that he "always wanted a Purple Heart" while shaving for work but suffers a flashback remembering the loss of two friends in a distant war.
​
"Crossroad" - 1970
As a graduate student in film at Humboldt State College, I encouraged the students in an acting class to get crazy and make the world's first "Rock Video" - or so we thought... through the haze... at the time.
