Trees
Starring Andrew Nelson, Patty Gilson, Terry Price b/w 16mm, 11 minutes

Trees is something of a post-modern Grimm fairy tale about a boy and a girl who meet in the woods and fall in like. After the girl mysteriously dies lying on the rail road tracks for 8 hours, the boys seeks comfort from the Philosopher in the Car.

The of Trilogy
Starring Andrew Nelson, Karl Platzer b/w, 16mm, 9 minutes

The of Trilogy comprises three vignettes regarding the lighter side of human isolation. "The Story of Carl" is about a man waiting at a desolate train station for his mother who accidentally left him there as a child. "The Documentary of Rick" is about a man with a masking tape fetish who tortures himself because his god dislikes him. "The Tragedy of Larry" is about an artist who murders because he can only paint still lives.

Laura’s First Confession
