    • A performative essay-film about the ways in which time frames our experience, perception, and the bounds of what is, and what isn't possible. Made using a rules-based constrained creative process, the film ties together three perspectives – that of a fictionalized Italo Calvino, a petulant contemporary artist, and the archetypical joker (as described by Alan Watts), to create a new collage which reflects on our present relationship to time. 25-30 minute long performance film with live dialogue.
