and then,
"GRENADA: TheFutureComingTowardsUs" a one hour documentary film looking
at the history leading up to the Invasion. the Bishop government's
attempt to transform a small colonial island into an independent and
progressive nation in the face of overwhelming US force. it was to
have premiered OCT'83 in NYC the day MauriceBishop and many of his
government were killed.
i returned to VT (after LatinAmericanFilmFestival in Cuba
) to be with my son as he entered the highschool years and began again
to build a place to live. APR'84 i was in Stockholm with Marianne
(so pregnant she couldn't fly back when film production ran over schedule)
when our daughter Maya was born.
after twenty years of film-making
i began to look into the digital revolution. and have been up here
in the forest by the lake since. working on/in SGI / Softimage, coming
to terms with Art and Buddhism, taught
at UVM, worked in Paris at MicroVideo, while editing a film with Robert
Kramer for some months, having computer animation included on
numerous softwareCo.s demoreels. winning AT&T's computer graphic/animation
award'92. work presented at various festivals. including ISEA'94.
turned down big job at ActiVision/UA (WilliamColby's Spy thriller
CD-Rom)... an opening for GlobalVision's "Rights and Wrongs" and teaching
last year at NYU's ITP (Interactive TeleCommunication Project).
and went with Leaf
and Maya, again, into Glacier this summer. still continue to imagine
some way of creating images that will somehow lead us to think about,
understand the enormous and violent contradictions that we somehow
just try ignore. My son is still out in Madison trying to figure out
how rocks think (GeoPhysics / Psychology, when he's in college) and
my daughter's back in Sweden with her mom right now . . . (nov'95)
and as warm as can be with Bobbie . .
