Intersections

Overlapping lives and scenes from different times and places.
Six videos show scenes from Baltimore and Mexico City darting at random intervals - separating and layering in turn.

Details:
A projection of six video tiles is broken into sections by an array of programmatically controlled servo motors. These are set to move each image to a new position at randomized intervals. On certain occasions all six videos are set move to the same location creating a wash of all six videos.

Gun Show

GUN SHOW is a new thirty minute documentary directed by Richard Chisolm, released in 2020. 


After assembling mock assault rifles out of everyday found objects, sculptor David Hess goes on the road to explore America's obsession with guns. When ordinary citizens are allowed to handle these weapons, a fresh and meaningful dialogue results. Gun Show is a film about the power of art to advance a conversation on a subject of dire importance. The sculptures become ‘weapons of mass discussion.’               

21 Days - NYC

I worked in NYC for 8 years in the late 90's.  It was loud, dirty and a bit dangerous if you weren't familiar with it's rhythms and the places to avoid.  It was a city of contrasts.  Of winners and losers.  Those that were "them" and those that were "us".   I didn't know it at the time, but I was front row center at a time of transition for the city, led by Rudolph Guiliani and epitomized by dramatic changes like the Disneyfication of Times Square.

Yields

An experimental documentary film, non-narrated and observational, that looks at the historic and economic vestiges embedded in gesture and landscape in a rural region of North Carolina. Yields meditates on the failure of industrial promise through a series of short vignettes that aggregate to express how absurdly intertwined a place can become with what it produces. The film is a meditation on sound, landscape, and labor in a rural economy abruptly severed from its historical connection to the production and processing of poultry. (Camera/Editor/Director)

Hi I Need To Be Loved

Synopsis:

"I am going to have you read from a collection of my spam emails," the director explains, ushering Craigslist actors one by one into an audition room. Together, they attempt to breathe life into lifeless, manipulative, and nonsensical email dialogue, transforming the digital and inhumane into something startlingly human.
