Scenic Artist
1984年、アップル社の新製品発表会本番を40分後に控え、スティーブ・ジョブズは部下のアンディともめている。今回ジョブズはどうしてもMacintoshに「ハロー」とあいさつさせたかったが、当の主役は沈黙したままだ。マーケティング担当者のジョアンナ諦めるよう説得する。
Producer
This film is a scrambled narrative that illustrates, in soap opera fashion, life of artists in Lower Manhattan and at the same time dramatizes questions about the nature of filmic representation. Split decision is a boxing term used when the judges divide their votes in finding a winner. In this case the fight is between the two heroes of the film who are seen intermittently in a bar, negotiating a pick-up, and at home, breaking up in a domestic quarrel. The fight is also in the telling, between modes of conventional representation and modes of radical representation - between conventional continuity editing, and abstraction created through computer generated grids. The film features an appearance by Carolee Schneemann and digital imaging from before the era of personal computers.

Director
"A precursor to the style and energy of my early 16mm films, which I tend to think of as a trilogy: comprised of ‘Petit Mal’, ‘Ciao Bella or Fuck me Dead’ [1978] and ‘Soothing the Bruise’ [1980]" (B.B)
