In our everyday lives, we are surrounded by small details and happenings that most of us choose to ignore. What if one of those details were pursued? What would happen? Where would it take you? Chester explores this possibility when he finds a note with some clues on it. His ensuing adventure ultimately ends in him leaving his own mark, in hopes that future generations may happen upon it and learn a little more about the past. The music and visual style of this film is meant to be an homage to the silent film era, where entire soundtracks would be played live along with the films to enhance the mood and experience.

This was shot on 16mm B&W reversal film in the spring of 2006.

While I have the time, I thought I would make the time to record another "fragment" session. The photograph in the background, although barely visible proved the inspiration for this piece. I am joined this round by a pink blood soaked bear that I won in a "UFO catcher" game at a game center near where I live. The pink bear only accepts music w/ reverb. He is quite picky. Thank you for listening.

This is the short story of a day in the life of a wanderer in Shanghai.

A very special edition of a very special film. Korobeiniki won a whole slew of awards in Eugene, OR and was our first film to have an original score. It holds a little piece of my heart and came out almost exactly as I envisioned it. It's rough and absurd, and prompted me to become a filmmaker.

The objects that surround us are increasingly disposable by design; they hold less and less respect from us.
What if they were sentimentally fragile, asking for more attention ...
Will you relate to them differently, maintain them used and make them happy instead of neglecting them ? Maybe you'd value more your environment, maybe you'd be happier yourself.
Industrial Fragility* is a serie of hacks on common objects that want to be used and loved.
*Please keep us alive and care.
