American Watercolors & other experiments in 16mm

[Nealesk]

Last summer I made a 16mm film and was given a great amount of technical and tactical help from these forums. This film became "American Watercolors". In it, I drive an old Datsun B210 from New Mexico to the ocean. The camera I used was my grandfathers Bell & Howell 240 and I learned after the fact that there was a registration issue with the camera which is what caused all of the melding and mushing of image.

 

 

The film has shown this year at the Johns Hopkins Film Festival, Indie Grits Film Festival & Athens of Ohio Film & VIdeo Festival.

 

I leave in 3 days for a 5 week road journey of Europe and I will be creating another film similar to American Watercolors. This time I plan on using voicemails from people we encounter on the road as a sonic layer to better help specify site and narrative...

 

Any thoughts on this or other work I have uploaded to Vimeo is more than welcome and appreciated!

 

Best
