Fast Forward Critique

I am always anxious about the critique process with the students. It is the first time that I get to see what the body of work will be for the final screening. The year's work comes to the screen for the first time. Each student sees his/her work up next to that of his peers'. It is a stressful day for all, both teacher and filmmaker, and yet each year I leave the crit excited, relieved, impressed and energized. This year was no different.

Whoa! Damn.

Being a teenager is a decade-long social experiment. As both a teacher and a video artist, I accept my active role in this experimentation.

No Way Out

Short Piece on my personal meaning of being "Trapped." Being trapped in my never-ending detention hall, being a lifeguard, and having to deal with my parents, trying to escape from it through memories, Becoming too real, the dreams are cut short by reality checks.

Key is power. We, the people, give others the key. In return, they abuse the power. This is a political, social and religious spin on the word "key".
