Commodity Trading (Part 1 of 3): Election Day

2017 1st Place Prize at Montreal Underground Film Festival

My daughter, Virgil, guides my family through a personal and political hell in the Jungles of Los Angeles. This is a video from the perspective of a minority with white privilege. This is a video about white supremacy; this is a video fashioned as a weapon towards the malignant narcissist racist masquerading as head of state, and within we see the symbolic exchange and decay of post-spectacle media suspension, like a molasses flood that slowly suffocates the soul and crusts over as a dream. (An experimental documentary/narrative fashioned into an attack on the disturbing omnipotence of hyperrealism and fascist banality - best symbolized by Donald Trump's burning plastic effigy. Commodity Trading is a series of films incorporating all media available from super 8, 16mm, 35mm, cellphone, and high-resolution digital, into a violent collage of the simulacral tumult of media waste and the fury/anger of racism in the wake of the rise of Alt-Right neo-fascism.)
