Authority Exorcism included in Patriot Show II, Oakland

My short film, Authority Head Exorcism was recently included in a group exhibit at the Cricket Engine Gallery in Oakland, CA - opened on Sept. 11 - appropriately so.



As I sat watching from the couch, 9-11 evening tv... I recalled 5 years ago, the cold windchill brought upon by hurried news explosions and fears of deployment. You see, I pulled myself out of bed that bomb-morning already heart-heavy because the previous afternoon I had pledged to the RWB flag - my ally status as I signed the bottom line into the United States Air Force. Although I wasn't due to depart civilian life for six months, my name (and ass) was on the line. Nonetheless, I survived my time in service, relatively unscathed.

In the years to follow I have been working through regret, fears, and guilt for a mixed bag of love/hate of country, god, man.

Authority Head Exorcism was an exploration of an inner conflict related to time serving our beloved country. It will also be on view at the Artist Television Access Film and Video festival in San Francisco, CA happening October 19-20.
