1947. America. The war is over, a pandemic has come and gone, and The American People build places to socialise, entertain, and amuse, as they make up for lost time. One of these establishments that see a boom in popularity is the humble cinema as many people pack into the same place to be as close to each other as possible. The Sketch Show With No Name invites you to become one of those people, as we take you on a journey to experience what it was like to be a moviegoer in a post-war and post-pandemic world. Tonight's moving picture? Cold Cash, a crime film with ice cold murder and a motive that may warm your heart. Using lip syncing technology, we resurrect actors from the golden age of Hollywood to tell a noir story filled with cheesy 1940s dialogue, blatant exposition, and enough tropes to make an entire Community episode around it. So sit back and Relax, whilst you experience the 1940s like never before.

Over the past few months, less so now, I've been experiencing some fairly intense spouts of anxiety. Something incredibly new and quite frightening for me. After a bunch of CBT sessions, my therapist recommended channeling my experience into video form. So, here you are. With the help of the incredible Suli Breaks, I've made this little video. Trying to demonstrate how it felt for me. Hope you take something from it.
A burning flame, black-and-white, opens Nasos Karabelas’ “Osmosis”, a philosophical piece on life, death, loneliness and nothingness. Nothingness, this absence, this lack of something, is a major force in Karabelas’ film. It’s disorienting, just like the sound which the director uses carefully, subtly even, in order to reinforce the voice over, written by his friend Christos Makridimitris. The almost nihilist voice-over accompanies the lonely journey of a young man through fields, through ruinous structures, along rivers. One wonders whether the voice over is actually the voice in the young, unnamed protagonist’s mind.
Experimental video project exploring the pressures of masculine identity in the age of the internet.
