ARTIST STATEMENT
Working sometimes with actors and a crew and sometimes completely alone, I make videos about the way dramas are staged and produced in the head; the way heroisms play out in the mind's eye, the inside place where stories get conjured, dreamed, remembered. By delivering absurd and mundane melodramas in a deadpan way, I make movies that are as awkward, confused, and self-conscious as the protagonists therein. By recreating and reconfiguring traditional narrative, documentary, and television techniques, I hope to degrade mainstream media by using its language against itself in a way that is too sincere, too simple, telling too many stories with very little stuff.
