I shot this film back in 2008 and my senior year at SFSU. it was approved as my senior project so I traveled to Death Valley with a bolex h-16 and shot an experimental film on 16 mm. The title of the film is 'a distant form'. This is based on a short story I wrote in 2004.
The premise of the film is a man seeing a vision of his own death in an abstract manner.
It is an omage to silent film and western films. I was originally inspired to shoot in Death Valley by director Erich von Stroheim because of his masterpiece epic, Greed.
I also used in optical printer for some of the manual celluloid effects, please enjoy. The link is below.
