Self-Important Empirical Film #3, with Voice-over

A kinetic glimpse of the rock band Fugazi tearing it up in Wisconsin during the 
Summer of 2001. The original 16mm footage had gone missing for several years,
 but was eventually found, scanned, and edited together in 2010.

An ode to pedestrianism and condensed "city symphony film" shot in the streets of Milwaukee on 16mm in the autumn of 2000. A few tweaks were made in the spring of 2020, but the basic film is as it was over twenty years ago.

This is a story of the mysterious force that fuels attraction and desire, success and vitality, that elusive 'je ne sais quoi'. Some have it, some don't, and Paul, an unpredictable loner, falls into the latter category. A frustrated creative living a dead end life, Paul is at odds with everything in his environment and with himself. When he reaches out to Anna, a seemingly kindred spirit who lives across the hall, could things be changing for him? With a distinctive sharp wit and visual expression, the film explores the complexities of 21st century relationships and the fine line between acceptance of others and settling for less.

In the midst of watching a dog, phoning a pretty girl, and entertaining a neighbor, eccentric twins Simon and Dave become immersed in intriguing conversations while amusing themselves and also, to varying degrees, those around them.

A colorful fleeting glimpse of a neighborhood house fire that occurred during the Christmas season of 2012 near the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. Fortunately, no people or animals died in the fire.

Robert is a bookish, somewhat withdrawn entry-level office clerk waiting for a to-go order of food. While getting a breath of fresh air and staring into space, he's accosted by Bradley, a disembodied head with eyes like drains who begins to berate him--perhaps telepathically--with petty insults disguised as good advice.
