upcoming shows
Ontogeny World Premiere at Crossroads, San Francisco: August 27, 2022
The World Premiere of my latest digital film, Ontogeny, will take place in the Crossroads Festival produced by the San Francisco Cinémathêque at Gray Area in the Mission District of San Francisco on Saturday August 27, 2022 at 3:15 PM PDT.
Several moving image-maker friends also share their work on this program #4 entitled "Before You Witnessed This Entropy."
During the worst drought in decades and in the summer of the second year of the pandemic, my thirty-year-old organ pipe cactus finally bloomed. Ontogeny exposes a startling display as the cactus develops from flower to fruit, “the pink-tipped sepals peeling back millimeter by millimeter until… it retreats and shrivels, a ball gown turned to rags.”
