Sometimes I make short films using Super 8 or DV. Have a look, pretty please.

(august 2007)

A short about a couple that goes on an unconventional date. It was originally made it under specific constraints: it had to be shot from start to finish sequentially, using exactly 3 minutes and 15 seconds of film, in essentially one take. (This version includes new footage and has been edited.) (shot on Super 8)
