After making my first feature The Cloud Of Unknowing, I decided to toss all caution to the wind and make a very experimental feature film for my second feature. Taking thousands of still images and assembling them in an Eadweard Muybridge fashion, paying accolades to the early cinema experiments, I made a film called Here Comes Everybody, affectionately called H.C.E.. Although avant-garde in nature it premiered in the NYCNY Competition of the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival.
The film takes its cue from James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake which is a tale of the cyclical history of humankind told in a dream state. I set out to make a film about western history within a dreamscape but wound up making a film that is a deconstruction of my own being as told to me by my daughter, Sonje, who narrates the film.
Although I call this a film it is also a collection of over 80 images that premiered at Synesthesia Space in Brooklyn that can be viewed in the Installation section of this page.
