short film by Michael Fleming (michaelfleming.com)
Michael and I met at the Chicago Underground Film Festival in 2015 - we kept in touch and made our first film together shortly after.
below is the audio and some stills of the film - e-mail me if you'd like to see the full film
write-up from Michael:
A 35mm found-footage hand-manipulated collage film focusing on the depiction of fear and revenge seen in commercial cinema. Manipulating our fear of mortality, it suggests we decimate what threatens us. The surface of the film material has been treated in the same way: peeling, scalping, cutting, and burning the image.
