The Suicide Squeeze

Brady Lewis

A fascinating case of narrative deconstruction, THE SUICIDE SQUEEZE is a '40s style whodunit pressed through the wringer of an optical printer.

Daddy Cool

John Amplas, Alice Eisner

An homage to 50's horror films about a woman who sees visions in her television and her therapist who happens to be a werewolf.

No Action

Brady Lewis

This unusual short portrait film combines animation with live action in a way that makes the viewer wonder, at first, what is real and what has been manipulated. Natural settings are transformed through time-lapse animation, while ten discrete cyclic animations occur simultaneously in a bank of windows behind the motionless protagonist. NO ACTION contrasts sound and imagery to describe conflicting internal and external realities.

Quick Opener

Brady Lewis

QUICK OPENER is a short comedy. A baseball movie for the initiated, it includes references to Roberto Clemente, Bill Mazeroski, Dock Ellis and the legendary 1960 Pirates versus Yankees World Series. Bruno Sammartino also gets a mention, but my after-the-fact research indicates that Bruno was a professional wrestler and not a baseball player. There are so many details to keep track of in making a film. Anyway, this film also contains the world's longest baseball joke.
