Ignorance Before Malice

2006 • 29 min • United States of America

Sandra Davis' angry reflection on her recovery from a serious car accident and her subsequent mistreatment from condescending doctors and inept insurance agents forms the foundation of IGNORANCE BEFORE MALICE. Named for Hanlon's Razor (the idea that one should never attribute to cruelty what could be explained by stupidity), the film combines first-person text intertitles, third-person narration and MRI scans of Davis' brain to evoke a sterile (yet fiery) takedown of the modern medical practices that depleted the filmmaker both financially and emotionally. - Tom Fritsche

Kodachrome Dailies from the Time of Song and Solitude (Reel 1)

2006 • 41 min • United States of America

The Kodachrome Dailies consist of all the Kodachrome footage chosen to be worked with to make the film Song and Solitude during years 2005 and 2006. During that period I still had the great privilege to be shooting Kodachrome. My method for editing was to first select the footage I wanted to use from the original camera rolls and then make an internegative and work print of that selected material to work with in the editing. (In an earlier period, I did not have to first make an internegative, but could more simply make a work print directly off the camera original, but Kodak cancelled the reversal work print film stock.)

Dead Horse Point

2006 • 18 min

Dead Horse Point is a film that expresses my feelings of ambivalence for the western genre, and America as a nation. It is the fourth part in a series of North American landscape films that I have been shooting since 2003. It essentially deals with the notion of "the old west," "the frontier," the blurred line between historical fact and myth, the role of Hollywood in the historical process, the importance of celebrity in America, and finally the influence that the western landscape has had in defining the mythology of "the old west."
