Dreams of Gold
Director
“Out at Zeballos, on the wet west coast of Vancouver Island, it rains and rains and practically never stops, but the people there don't look for rainbows in the sky.” Based on text from a gold miner’s journal, Dreams of Gold reveals his dreams.
Water Over Glass
Director
In "Water Over Glass," the tension of a mind adrift and in conflict with itself is captured and bookended visually by the vast mutability of sea and sky, where water and air surfaces suggest both static and the dissolution of the individual. A doppelganger, a crime scene and the tidal erasure of what might have taken place: discomfiting moments in a bright, almost psychedelic, arc. Assembled from 16mm, Super 8, and digital video, stop motion collage and digital compositing animation, "Water Over Glass" works backwards from an original story by Jason Zumpano and its musical articulation—Vancouver outfit The Cyrillic Typewriter’s 2018 album of the same name—to suspend a visual form over a sonic narrative.
