Pure Concentricity, 2014

digital video, 2:36

• Official Selection of the 2015 Slamdance Film Festival
• Vimeo Staff Pick

This film was created in the span of two weeks, from conception to sound design, and was commissioned by the Denver Theatre District through Denver Digerati. The film is composed of sequential photographs while being visually limited to the natural landscape, the human figure, and concentric circles of shaving cream.

I must acknowledge my appreciation for the following people who contributed their time and energy into the making of this film: Caleb Young, Matthew Jorgenson, Brandon McCalley, Chau and Kevin Gan, and my wife, Deborah. Figural abstractions are a reference to the photographic work of Bill Durgin.
