I Want To Be An American
Monteith McCollum, Maya Newell
In the spirit of the Surrealist parlor game of chance Exquisite Corpse, each filmmaker makes a documentary short film based on imagery forwarded on by the previous filmmaker in the chain. The composite story forms a global independent filmmaking experience.

Notes on Milk
Monteith McCollum, Ariana Gerstein
Notes on Milk is a short variation of the 2007 feature documentary Milk in the Land: Ballad of an American Drink. Ariana Gerstein and Monteith McCollum, whose Hybrid aired on POV in 2002, take a quirky and poetic look at some lesser-known aspects of America’s favorite drink: the industry’s spiritual underpinnings, politics and the struggle of independent farmers.

In a Free Sound Field
Monteith McCollum
In a home filled with rare art objects from around the world, a disjunctured set of tales unravel around the travels of collector Don Boros. Dislocating fact from fiction and time from place, they are intermixed with the notable text On the Sensations of Tone as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music by 19th century physicist Hermann von Helmholtz.
