8mm Portrait Series — Reels 1–8
115 min. total · silent · 1974–1979. Filmed with the Bolex Rex-8 camera, which was the exact same size as a 16mm Bolex but held four times the amount of film time-wise. These rolls were spontaneously edited with an in-camera style and have emerged as portraits, mostly of artist friends — including the painter and colleague Lynn Shelton at work in his San Francisco home studio. There is also a black & white "portrait" of my old Los Angeles neighborhood and a glimpse of my current locale in Sonoma County, California. A painter's eye and a musician's lyricism sit at the root of these cinematic explorations.
