(Push & Pull and Push Again)
I had just finished reading The Cinema of Ken Jacobs - more than the book was the imagining while reading it. I couldn't sleep for the past couple of nights. It shook me up but I couldn't put it together, put it down or settle it somehow. I took out the camera. I was in the country and had no internet, no access to the films of Jacobs. After reading the list of performances and filmography at the back of the book, I remembered…
A Silent film Award Winner (Cincinnati Film Festival). Wild Woods is an abandoned summer camp in the middle of the woods at the Cincinnati Nature Preserve. As I started to film, I realized how silent and creepy this once thriving camp was, so I tried to incorporate it into this short film. It suddenly started to rain, so I also added the drive home.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
