In Search of Gladys Glover

In Search of Gladys Glover

2024 · 89 min · Thriller, Comedy, Horror

A diary-cum-thriller-cum comedy-cum-horror film shot on an iPhone (RIP BlackBerry!) for zero dollars with friends, IN SEARCH OF GLADYS GLOVER was born in the darkness of winter in a post-pandemic 2022 after a fateful 35mm screening of George Cukor’s NYC classic IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU (1954). Indebted to the spirits of Larry Cohen, Anne Charlotte Robertson, and New York City herself, IN SEARCH OF GLADYS GLOVER is a time-shifting journey about the disorienting feeling of being in the city the past few years. It’s a movie for everyone who wakes up each day and continues to put one foot in front of other—laughing often, crying often, watching as many beautiful films and sports games as possible, aimlessly walking the city streets alone, making art, hanging with good friends—but ultimately doesn’t understand what the fuck is going on anymore.

My Lake Erie Movie

The footage in this movie was captured, without any intended purpose, between the years of 2008 and 2023 when the filmmaker visited her childhood home in Mentor, Ohio, a town that sits along the shores of the Great Lake Erie. Shot instinctively, haphazardly, gloriously with whatever devices were on hand, most notably multiple BlackBerry phones and a FUJIFILM X-T200, this kaleidoscopic film (perhaps) seeks to find out what Iris Murdoch meant when she wrote: “Time, like the sea, unties all knots.”
