Created in a Television Studio, I directed, wrote, shot, and edited this Art piece. Everyday Things is about layers, not just layers created through technology, but also the layers in our own daily routine, like getting ready for a date. Presented as stock footage, these hyper-ordinary routinized video scenes and their meanings are embedded in three different time shifts and shaped by the sounds of a slow-motion crowd, a man, and a woman. We hear what might be in the minds of the on-screen characters. Maybe they aren't as happy and excited as they appear. Daily technology drives our decisions, and Everyday Things also captures the technological determinism that impacts us.

I shot, directed, wrote, edited, and produced this 16mm black and white film short. This film was shot on Kodak 16 mm film and the rough cut was edited on a 4-plate Steenbeck film editor.
